Dark Star - 2014 Silverado RCSB
Hello. This will be my build thread.
I recently purchased a 2014 Black RCSB. Initially, I added a Genetex auto-dimming mirror with Homelink and had the bed sprayed with Line-X.
Now I have the new Belltech 3/6 lowering kit installed (#988). Here it is as it sits now...

Future plans are a maggie and wheels.
In the meantime, I really like the drop kit. It's perfect.
Except it bottoms. A lot. Shocks are still factory (truck only has 450 miles on it).
I have an Air Lift SlamAir kit being delivered today, but I'm rethinking that; partially because I saw a for sale post last night by someone getting rid of theirs because it won't work with the 325 DRs he was wanting to install.
Anyway, is there a shock that would be a good replacement? QA1? Monroe Max-Air? Posts on the Belltech shocks seem to go 50/50 and it seems I would still need the helper bags with the BT shocks.
So, any suggestions? I'm wide open.

Ordered QA1 TS802s and assorted adapters & bushings, etc. These are the Stocker Star single adjustable.
Once I get them I'll be able to figure out what it will take to make them work.
I ordered the TS802s because they had the same extended & collapsed lengths of the BellTech shocks that were recommended for my drop (2210FF).
