I have the double adjustable(DTC-1539P) for the back and need to buy the single adjustable(TC-1958P) for the front.
When I spoke to Caff at QA1 he said the fronts were for a 0-2" drop. The truck is not dropped at all in the front so I was going to go with those. The rear is just dropped a little to level it.
BTW, I currently have the BelTech's front and back also but I think they are way to stiff for the track. The truck used to squat and lift a lot better with the stock wore-out shocks.
P.S. Go to the track already so we know if your 60ft's improve, lol.

Can you post some pics of the new shock configuration on the front?

i did go to the track yesterday... I was having some fueling issues so the 60ft was down. But with the shocks set on front=1 rear=6, i was able to hook pretty good. Usually i run around 16psi in my slicks and hook, yesterday i was running 20psi and hooking
... Also from what i have read you don't want the rear to squat, you want it to stay where it is, that way all the force that would normally cause the rear to squat goes straight to the tires, more pressure on the tires means more traction...

Thanks, the shocks ride great just cruisin down the highway... Seems like Front=4 and rear=4 is a nice setting for comfort. Bump each one up 1 or 2 is more a performance setting while cruising...

With my worn out stock shocks the rear would squat a little while the front would lift. you could see it on the take off and a little in the 1-2 shift. Now it just goes with no body movement.
