Finishing my next stage on my truck....
Installing QA1 Stocker Star Single Adjustable shocks on all for corners..

Truck is a 99 GMC RCSB..
Has a 4/6 drop...
Rear has a flip kit and Caltracs..
Rear shocks are relocated, both of them are on the back now..

Question is...
What settings on the shocks do I start with?
What has everyone had good luck with?
I really need to improve my 60ft...

I am new to adjustable shocks..
Thanks

 

i did 4 for DD driving and 6 at the track.

 

i wanna keep an eye on this...i wish my pos would 60' better

 

With 2/4 Hotchkis springs, I like 8F/4R on the street. I have not been able to notice any decernable difference from 1-12 in the rear at the track and haven't had a chance to fully test the fronts. One thing I have noticed is I would prefer to have a double adjustable on the front. Dialing them down to get easy rise also allows the front to come down hard which is counter productive.

 

Just got off the phone with QA1...

Was suggested the following:

Drag - 0 front, 3-4 rear
Street - 4 front, 2 rear

 

reason is that you want good weight transfer to the rear, so set the fronts to "0" at the strip so they don't offer resistance. The rear you want to sit but not too much. You want to plant it but not waste that energy too.

4wd you want to limit weight transfer from front to rear, hence the straps or cables like I have to keep the weight forward over the driven wheels.

I tried QA1's but never found a comfortable setting in the rear and sold them at a big loss Great drag shocks but not really setup for trucks.

 

i read on tech that putting the fronts on 0 was a bad idea, due to it bottoming out soooo hard when you launch... i always kept my fronts on 1 at the track and 5 on the street.

 

What about Rancho 9000 adjustable for the rear?

 

never tried them. Corey, maybe if you launch hard and are able to fully extend them.

 

Wat r thepart #s for these shocks plz I wanna put sum on mine and pics of relocation and parts needed thanxs in advance
