QA1 + 3” SPINDLE LIFT HELP

Looking for a suspension expert to help me out with numbers on QA1 shocks and Spring setup for my single cab 5lugger...

I want to run fabtech spindles and get the 3” stance. Then I want to add QA1 adjustable shocks w/ springs. If someone wants to help confirm my numbers are correct for the application I pulled some comparisons,

Front Stock Shock
14.00” extension 9.00” collapsed

Fabtech 3” lift shocks
14.3” extended 9.5” collapsed

I found QA1 GD507 shocks at
14.5” extended 9.630” collapsed

Should I go shorter than the fabtech shocks? And what spring rate would I would need? QA1 has up to 850lb springs

this is my current setup with 1.5” daystar

I'd say 10 inch shock with 700 rate coil springs would set u about stock or a lil higher based on reading. Shoot for the specs of a 6 cylinder five lug if u have a 4 cyl to be on the safer side for "stock or lift".

Let me tag some 5 luggers which may be able to insight better here.

Apologies for the tags if you guys can't help. Just feel bad bc this threads dead for OP

 

Here's what a customer of mine recently used to lift his

 

Sorry, I don't know stock dimensions. This calculator can tell you the exact spring rate you are looking for based on how you want to set it up. The math is a bit involved.
