Re: help with shocks please
QA-1's website will have all of the shock lengths listed. You can look up or search a style of shock, with the correct mounts on each end, then look up the lengths available and see what you can use. As far as coil-overs on the rear, are you planning on removing the drop coil thats in place now? To get 5" of rear drop, I usually recomend a 2" block, and a 3" spring. The shorter the spring, the worse the ride. Also, as the shock gets shorter, thing go from bad to worse. Shock relocators are in need here, we have some new design that work very well. If your going to use a coil-over, try a 200lb spring, I'd recomend a 5" stroke shock, like the QA-1 #5855p. Hope that helps.
