Default Qa1 question

Looking to pull the trigger on a set of qa1 12 way adj. for the front of my 2wd 2002 Silverado. I'm currently running 2" lca's on the front. I've done a lot of reading and I just won't to see if you guys think about the setup that speed engineering sells for our trucks. Is this what I need to get them on?

Man I wish they made something like this for nnbs. Dont like the way my belltechs ride. I think thats all. You will need to drill the lower nuts out and use bigger bolts and nuts if im not mistaken.

I think the extended length is a little short, stock is something like 14.5-14.7". I believe they would work well for someone running 1 or 2" drop springs though.

Can you give me a part number on ones that would work with the control arms I'm running?

The shocks above will work, but will probably hurt more than help at the track due to the lack of extension. The t-bar can be mounted above the a-arm to gain back some extra travel. The next size up that qa1 sells has 15.5" extension and is part number ts502, td502, or tr502 depending on adjustability. You'll need the 3.5" t- bar kit.
