I have QA1 on the back and beltech on the front w/ 4-7 drop on my 2013 rcsb and been thinking of going with Ridetech all away around. Glad others are having luck with them makes my choice easier to make.

850...did you get the spanner wrench? May pick your brain on putting it together. I figured it would be put together when I purchased it. I need to get it all together tomorrow. Trying to figure out where to set it at. I want to start at 4" then go from there.

No I didn't get the wrench, but it would be very useful, make it a bit easier to adjust them.
Putting them together is pretty straight foreword; remove the adjuster **** first
screw on the lower coil spring adjuster from the top all the way down,
put the washer on then the spring, followed by the second washer and upper spring mount,
and the snap ring goes on the bottom of the aluminum spacer which fits on top of the mount then the swivel ball + aluminum cap and finally the nut.
Did you get the same length shock and spring set-up as mine?
What's your current suspension set-up? springs and spindles?

Mine is an 8", I just went with what DBRods was using for his swaps that I found on ls1trucks.
I have 2" drop MCG spindles and 2" springs. I don't know what the difference will be between yours and mine. I think 10" may have been better for ride quality.

This was his response when I asked him your question.
"They don't make anything above a 800lb spring in a 10". The 8" spring has more options all the way up to 1200lb. There is no ride quality difference between a 8" or a 10". I've tested many combos.
