drag shocks

[RED_ROCKET]

i have one blown shock, and looking to get some drag shocks, or good one, what do you think i should get,....

[BTLFED R/T]

QA1's are the best, but pricey at $140 a shock. There was just a thread about another adjustable shock shock as well.

The Moparts guys like the Rancho 9 way adjustables with leafs/caltracs setups.

My dads running Competition Engineering 3 way adjustable drag shocks($42 each) all the way around on his r/t. Ill have to get part numbers for you though as theyre not for dakotas. They have the same measurements though.

You forgot the most important part, how does he like them?

[got_torque]

Hes got both front and rear set on the stiffest, with the truck lowered 2" all the way around and he likes them, he hasnt taken the truck to the track yet to see how they do 60' wise.

Heres the summit part numbers:
Comp Eng- 2600- front
Comp Eng- 2730- rear

do you have any pics of that setup

[mtlcafan79]

Nope. Summit lists them for $100 each. I'd just get QA1's at that price.

are these the ones ?????

[mtlcafan79]

Those you have to take off and completely extend before you can change them. Shrek is running them on his truck. You can ask them how he likes them if it ever gets running.

[BluRT00]

Not trying to thread jack, but has anyone ever used some 90/10 shocks on the front? Or do they even offer a shock like that for the fronts? Dan

I am drooling, whats the conversion kit needed for the QA1's on a hotchkis? Cause I take it I could use the competition engineering ones with that kit? Dan

[mtlcafan79]

Shrek is on dak-dur. The only thing that sucks about the Comp Eng shock is you have to take them off and take them to full extension before you can change settings.

The hotchkis leafsprings only lower a Dakota R/T 2.5 inches. I would go with the TC2501P, dont forget the eyelet loop conversion in the link. The TC1539P is too long (stock height application) and the TC1576P might be too short depending on your drop.

hey i just bought the qa1's on ebay that go on the front for 270 shipped as a pair. If anyone is interested its a heck of a deal. Brad

Theyre normally $280 for a pair.....at least the ones i saw on summit.

[orange00rtdakota]

10 bucks is 10 bucks espically with high gas prices.

[orange00rtdakota]

Does anyone have any clue what would happen if you ran the qa1's on the front with comp ones on the rear? Do you think it would screw up the set-up or the ride quality? I got qa1s for the front but cant really afford them for the rear to. Any suggestions would be appreciated also. Thanks Brad

[RED_ROCKET]

so can i run them with the truck lowered

[Opie]

just put a set of the comp engineering ones one with my hotchkis and it works great i love them ...launches nice tooo

What Do You Have Them Set Too
