Edlebrock or Belltech Street Performance Shocks

Are u sure? I'd think so maybe, but not if their lengths vary or the configuration as in a eyelet on the shock end or a T.
The best way to verify if a shock fits beyond obvious ends being the same, tho that can be overcome if they sell ends to change, but now that adds to the cost, is to just measure.
FWIW, after my 4" drop, on my stock rears, I only had 1/2" of travel. Let's say, it beat the
outta ya. I had to measure, compressed, extended, & ride height, then I ordered my QA1s. I still need the fronts, tho stockers fit just fine w/. only a 2" drop. They just don't allow as many adjustments nor are performance oriented. I love the curves, but I like straight line too.

They don't just pop out on their site, u have to take measurements, which is exactly what I did. These are for a 4" drop out back. Since you're in S.F., u don't have any road salt like our winters, just what's in the air. Maybe I won't give u part # now. 
Mine are double adjustable, meaning independent rebound & compression. 2 sep. *****, it's takes longer to get on ground than adjust if ya wanna toy w/. settings, as it's only twist a few *****. No tools or spanners.
Mine are DTC-1539 P. If ya don't want dbl. adj., just drop the D in p/n. They're a few bucks less, but it's your choice. Either way, if u decide what brand u go w/., I always like to see what shocks people have success w/. so please post up your choice. If u decide on QA1, I think you'll be pleased. The dbl. adj. have more settings than you'll probably ever use.

Hey fastnblu, did you have a whole install process like Corey (BlackGMC) did when he installed his QA1's?? Or was yours pretty pain free?
That's the only thing keeping me from going that route is the whole pain in the *** of modifying something brand new to fit my truck. Something about him swapping t-bars in the bottom of the front and different bushings or some such in the rear.
There's a thread on here somewhere...
