How-To: Rear QA1's with Ruslow upper mounts **PICS**

[SWThomas]

Here's some pics from when I installed the QA1 rear shocks. These are some beautiful shocks and they are very light. I went with the upper shock mounts from Stan @ Ruslow and they worked great.

Here are some shots of the old Bilstein shocks with the bed removed.

The ride seems to be a little smoother now. I did some riding around and decided that the best feel for me was with them set to the 6 setting on both sides. These shocks are a little smaller at the bottom than the stock ones. This was not a problem though because the lower shock mounts only had to bend slightly to get a snug fit.

If anyone has any questions, please PM me and I will do my best to help you.
