Question Guys running 10's... What's your suspension?

I'm just wondering what kind of suspensions the guys running 10's have. I'm looking for DD set-up's and not something for a race only truck. Basically what kind of front and rear drop and any kind of particular things. Thanks.

JDM Front Drag Springs, QA-1's all around, and a simple set of Std Shackles.

With a set of 15" Bogarts and 30" Hoosier's it manage's consistant low 1.4 60ft's (1.41, 1.43, and (2) 1.45's last time out) 1.45 when I ran the 9.9.
Best 60ft for the truck so far was a 1.39 with Evan Smith Driving it to 9.74

My rears too high and my front too low ( bumper hits way too much) so I need to think about some change but I'm afraid to touch it with the 60fts it been putting down
(might be easier to just paint the bumper every yr or so)

As for Daily Driven it truly drives PERFECT in all conditions....

Rob,

How important would you say the JDM drag springs are to your suspension set-up? Are they good on the street. You're running pretty much the same suspension as me minus the JDM springs. I already have a set of 15X5 Bogarts for the front with some rubber on them and I have a set of 15X10 Bogarts for the rear. I haven't purchased the 30" Hoosiers yet, but that's one of my next things to buy. I also need to set aside some time to grind the calipers to make the Bogarts fit. What compound Hoosiers do you run? C06, C07, D05???

Hey Rob--Did you cut your JDM springs?
I'm assuming you're using your stock '00 rear springs--did you remove any of the leafs--and if so which one?
Are those "Std Shackles"--2" shackles and have you seen any wear issues?

Rob brought the truck as a 9 sec pass Daily Driver
The ony wear issues he has is the amount of wax he puts on that bodywork
