Default QA1 ?'s

my stock shocks in the rear are too soft and bouncy since it's been droped 4". i've been looking into the QA1's b/c of the adjustability. i can't seem to find any application for my truck. my question is, which shock/part # do i need for the rear and what hardware is all needed to do the install? again, the rear is droped 4" with the shackle/hanger kit. thanks in advance guys. later... lance

My truck will be lowered 4 inches in the rear. So I will sit 2 inches higher than you due to ahve lift blocks stock in the rear of mine.

Cool

Here is a post by F8L Z71 that should give you an idea of what he used on his truck with a 2/4 Hotchkis drop.
