Re: Bagged C10s: QA-1 Shocks?

I ordered some single adjustable shocks from Ridetech. They should be here this week. I'm excited to see how they perform.

Re: Bagged C10s: QA-1 Shocks?

Got the shocks installed this evening. I could feel a difference when I was backing the truck out of my driveway. I only took it on a short drive, but I'm already impressed. I'm going to drive it to work tomorrow and I'll give a better report, but so far, I give them a big thumbs up. OBTW, a big thanks to boardmember Crawdadfox for getting my order shipped quickly, .

QA-1 shocks are awesome for your lowered, lifted or bagged vehicle. We are using these shocks in our bagged C10 that lays frame, and they offer AWESOME adjustability, ride comfort, and the best of all worlds! The 18-way adjustability ensures you can dial in just the right amount of firmness or softer. QA1's Proma Star externally adjustable coil-over shocks provide just the right combination of consistency, reaction, and durability for drag racing. They have special valving, which is designed to compensate for high shaft speed, while allowing for low shaft speed control. When combined with the 18 externally adjustable valve settings, they ensure an improved grip on the track from end to end. Other features include a bright-anodized aluminum body, PTFE-lined bearings or polyurethane bushings, a 5/8 in. centerless-ground chrome piston rod, and aerospace-caliber sealing materials.

Coil-Over Shock Type:Single-adjustable
Shock Body Material:Aluminum
Shock Body Finish:Clear anodized
Adjustable Valving:Yes
Number of Valving Selections:18
Extended Length (in):17.000 in.
Collapsed Length (in):11.625 in.
Upper Mount:Eyelet
Lower Mount:Eyelet
Internal Design:Twin-tube
Gas Charged:No
Body Diameter (in):2.000 in.
Bushing Material:Polyurethane
Bushing Color:Black
Coil-Over Springs Included:No
Recommended Spring Diameter (in):2.500 in.
Recommended Spring Length (in):12 in.

We have shocks for both Air and OE style applications

And they have a 1,000,001 mile warranty!
