Atomic Fab?

Atomic Fab?

nope!
there isnt a qa1/viking coil over shock that would work for this application unfortunately- that was the first thing i looked for.
needs to be about 26" at ride height, so i would be looking for it to be like 18" collapsed/30"+ extended

with the shock extenders in the rear, the longest qa-1 shock should work pretty good. i temporarily put the qa-1s i have on the rear just to get an idea of how they ride and how they control the rear springs. if i can get it to ride nice i will order the correct size ones. i think ride height needs to be around 18-19" with the extenders. the shocks i have are happy around 6" ride height - so i have plenty of compression available, but only a little over 2" of extension on them

it rode and handled great with them lowered. but one gripe i always had when replacing the spherical bearings or having them squeak a little, and when removing them i usually had to beat them out of the mounts, which would ruin the bearing anyway and it would have to be replaced.
I like that these use stock mounts with insulator already on it and stuff, hoping they are quiet

I just submitted a request to have 2/21 off so I should be able to complete the install then if one of the next couple of weekends don't open up (I doubt they will). So 2/21 should be a good day of installing and then picture taking of the progress

I wish I could be there to watch and bust your balls and throw popcorn at your head.
