Ended up talking to several guys in Granite that run the MT's and they said you really gotta get some heat in them to hook good.

Which you found out in the end lol

I almost pulled the trigger on the QA1 DA rear shocks a couple weeks ago. Currently have Koni SP1 rears but they are a pain to adjust. They have to be fully compressed to adjust them. WHat fronts do you run? I have the DA QA1s

Thanks for the info! I got new wheels that are 15-8, not sure what size tire to run! At what RPM do you leave with?
