Need to change out my toxic shocks in the rear. They're too stiff
I was noticing some of the racing videos I have gotten from some of you guys. I notice how some of your trucks sit down in the rear end on launch. My toxic shocks seem too damn stiff to do that. I was wondering what shocks you guys think are the best ones for racing. I don't tow or haul anything in the back, so that isn't a factor.

I have a set of QA1's 12 way adjustabel shocks that wil go well with your setup
or a set of set of edelbrocks
I notice you have a roll pan which lightens up the rear end even more with a stepside do you still have a spare tire aswell ?
i would go with something adjustable having the edelbrocks in the back for a few miles and with some decent power. I couldn't get the rear to plant reall nice consistanly because the shocks and leafs were too stiff

For the import scene I would agree. I'm new to the truck scene and wanted to know. The great thing is that Bilstein's corporate office is a few blocks from me on the same street as my office.

For weight transfer and adjustment you can't beat Qa1's.
