I am looking to replace the worn out shocks on my truck..
was maybe looking for some drag shocks, but I now drive the truck daily, and dont know how the ride will be, 90/10 in the front, and maybe something like a 50/50, or a 70/30 in the back.
also what other daily driving shocks are there for a 2/4 drop..
I have about a 2 inch clearance on the rear axle from the frame.
thanks, Daniel

 

Calvert Racing suggested Rancho 9000's in the rear and a Carrera 9010 up front.

I was thinking maybe Rancho 9000's all around and adjust them accordingly at the track or on the street.

 

For full on track duty you'd want a 90/10 up front and a 50/50 in the rear. For mixed duty then you can do a 70/30 front and 50/50 rear.


Hemi777 is gonna try out the Competition Engineering ones. I may do the QA1 fronts and a cheaper shock in the rear. The problem with the Ranchos is they don't allow you to adjust rebound only. It does rebound and compression at the same time which is what most adj. non-drag race shocks do.

 

thanks guys I was thinking about the 90/10's up front and the 50/50's in the rear, but how would this drive on the road?
would it suck, and be irritating?
or would it ride halfway decent?
or should I just go with a set of drop shocks?

 

Ante up and get the adjustale drag shocks so you can set it the way you want for non race days.

That was me in the above post BTW. I was posting from a shop.

 

from where and how much are we talking??
thanks

 

QA1... I think they are like $150/ea or something close to that. Expensive but they allow a fully adjustable rebound (for lifting the front of the truck off the ground easy) and a static compression (so when you come crashing down it is controlled like a stock shock or better). I talked to the guys at QA1 and he said most of the adjustable shocks out there adjust rebound AND compression at the same time so if you're loose going up you'll be loose coming down. That's how my Konis worked on my Mustang
