Shocks

Sometime ago I purchased another guys project and he was building a stock ride 68. I have since made some changes. I'm lowering it with 5 in drop coils in the rear and 2 in coils and 2in spindles in the front. in the parts that came with the truck are QA1 adjustable shock, I'm assuming they are stock ride shocks. The question is can I use them on the now lowered truck? I have attached a picture. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Re: Shocks

Best thing to do is verify this for yourself; anything else is just guessing.

With the 'new' drop parts on & the truck on the ground (or in the air w/full weight on the suspension), measure the dimensions between your upper & lower shock mounts front & rear.

Compare those dimensions against the shocks dimensions (you need to know the fully compressed & max extended length of the shocks).

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
