What's up everyone, so I purchased the Qa1 TS504 and installed them as suggested but I'm bottoming out and I have 2 in blocks, so does anyone have any suggestions on what to do or other shocks that can give me a better performance ride without bottoming out?

have you tried adjusting the dampening? theres a lot of different levels of adjustment for you to be bottoming out.. are you sitting on the frame already?

I agree with mjbtaco ... Have you adjusted the dampening at all?

You only mention having 2" blocks. Have you done anything else with the rear (especially anything to do with the leaf springs)?

If you're topping out and don't want to go any lower then it should fix the issue at hand. Have you tried to increase the dampening and see how that rides in the meantime? I ran a 2/3" back in the day. At that time we just moved the upper mount further down the frame to eliminate the topping out but it made the ride softer.
