Looking for the right set of rear QA1 drag shock for my buddies truck. He has a 5/7 drop right now and REALLY is due for some real shocks. Anyone know what size would work for him?

He needs to measure the current ride height length.

Is he still using the stock mounting points? If so, the passenger's side will be longer than the driver's side.

Yeah stock mounting points. I'll have him measure today.

Huh, I don't see that QA1 has smooth body DA shocks. Just single adjustable. Those are RS702.

If he would choose Viking shocks, it would be D214 for both shocks.

Be advised that the bolts are 14mm and the bushings provided are SAE.

For the lower bolt, he can use the 9/16" bushings and get new Grade 8 9/16" bolts.

The upper bolts have the nut welded to the bracket, so the only correct way to fit is to have the 1/2" bushings drilled out to 14mm. Otherwise, I think most people are just using the 9/16" bushings and dealing with the slop.

Whichever way he goes, he should call the manufacturer directly and confirm which shocks. Both companies are very helpful for ensuring you the the correct product.

Great I'll look into them and call them up Monday. Red need to get some shocks on this truck the nitrou shocks he has now are completely blown and useless

I've used both on QA1 and Vicking on my nnbs single cab. Both are better then any shock ive used yet. Might look into Ridetech too which that's going to be my next shock to try. Good luck
