Want adjustable front shocks 89 2wd QA1?
Howdy Dakota folks
I have my dakota rear end way low and I’m about to correct the shock angle and install some QA1 stocker star single adjustable shocks. My truck is actually a ‘54 dodge pickup on the Dak frame and the rear suspension is fabricated but the front is stock 2wd 1989 but with moog coil springs. All bushings and balljoints are new.
I put $15 shocks on when I built the truck and it’s a good cruiser but I want to upgrade to some stiffer shocks- preferably an adjustable. Double adjustables are outside my price range.
I’m looking at the QA1 stocker star shocks. Everybody in reviews or whatever talks about having to open up the LCA hole to pass the big shock & adjustment **** thru but nobody has pics of how it needs to look trimmed. I have a pic of my LCA when I R&R’d it and the hole & bolt up looks pretty tight in the spring pocket already?
Anybody use the QA1 shock that can tell me about installation? I have a die grinder and I’m not afraid to whittle but maybe I should just throw some KYBs in there or something I dunno. It’d be nice to be able to soften them up for weight transfer at the strip and tighten them up for throwing the truck into corners.
Thanks for looking and in advance for any comments and pics anyone might share.
