mathematically yes. in talking with the spring engineer, he also agreed it would be perfect. what i have over the qa1 setup is shock length so i can fudge lower spring rates to work.
So in theory, all should be well. Tomorrow will be the true test
.
i also plan to use the last 1 inch of shock travel as a sort of bumpstop, meaning i will stop the top coil from moving all together 1" before the shock bottoms out and use basically twice the spring rate on the bottom spring to slow the truck. if everything holds up, this will be a fun setup

P***y. wouldnt be the first time this front end has seen air time
only had to trim the UCA bumpstop bracket but it still can be kept in place if need be and i hacked off my dual shock mount crap on the UCA. ill eventually hack out the UCA bumpstop and mount my limit straps to the LCA (this will help save UCA ball joints, even on your guys daily drivers).
Yes the upper shock mount tabs are bent, i forgot to order 1.25" mounting width misalignment spacers so i bent the tabs out, and then stepped them back down straight.
I ran into some issues with the preload adjustment collar so its on hold right now till i get that worked out.
Such a little guy......Seen the tank and was like wtf you using impacts on that for....then remembered you needed to charge your shocks with nitro.
nope, CO2 to run my die grinder. harbor frieght air compressors cant keep up with them. it worked well till the line started freezing up :roflmao:
After seeing this makes me want and your right not to exspensive of a set up keep us posted with the particulars. Already started pricing just waiting to see how yours turn out so Id know what headaches might come up. :thumb:
I likely! Send me the measurements please
Not yet, I need to make sure this setup is gunna work out before I go making suggestions so hang in there. It's on hold till after Memorial Day as I'm goin on vacay so hang in there
hahaha trust me, you guys at the only ones wanting to get these things on. they stare at me every morning when i leave for work!
good part is new preload collar is on its way out to me today. these guys got some awesome customer service. nice to see in a day and age where it seems its lacking anymore.
