Quick update. I got the shocks installed on Friday after work. Quality on these are top notch. One thing I will tell you is the upper shock bolt is a pain in the a** to get to. Total install time was about 2 1/2hrs because of those bolts. I ran into a problem, QA1 supplies metal sleeves that slide into the bushings but were slightly short so they were not making contact with the frame so once installed they were going to have some side to side movement which I didn't like. I already had everything taken apart so I took the bushings off the old Belltech shocks so I can take off the sleeves that they had on and come to find out the sleeves and the bushings from those shocks were glued. :banghead: I then stripped the bushing with a sharp knife and used my Dremel with a sanding bit to get the rest of the rubber off in order to slide them on to the new shock bushings. With a little bit of grease they went on with no problems. I got everything installed and tighten up and set them up at 12 clicks. I took it for a quick spin WHAT A DIFFEERENCE! It felt a lot smoother. I only took 2 Pics during the install, I will post them up later.

man I thought with TS905 you didn't have to mod the shocks :eek:
so do you think it's worth getting the TS801 or just stick with the TS905

I did a side by side comparison with the TS905 and the Belltech and they were off by about 1/2 inch at full extension. IMO I would stick with the TS905 and try to find sleeves else where so you don't have to do what I did.

TIA

I wish I would have got them cheaper, but IMO worth every penny.

For the cheap cheap i would

Lol how cheap is cheap? If you just want the rears I'll do $250 shipped to you. That's $50 less than anywhere you'll get them new, plus you'll still have to spend another $50 on the necessary mounting hardware to adapt them.
