I have QA1s in the A body, and will have to go back and check travel limits. Currently, in the rear, I only have a drop of about .5-1", so believe I'm well within the shock's travel range. But am still going to check, both rear and front.
I mis-spoke regarding the adjustment range of the QA1 shocks in my previous post, the range of clicks on adjustment go to 18, not 14. And will have to go back and check the adjustments. Still, at 14 in the rear, I think I am too close to the upper end of range for adjustment, will will step up to a 220 lbs spring and try again. Half tempted to go to a 230 or 240 lbs spring, still on the wall there.
On the front adjustment, I need to try backing off on the shock setting some and see if my range of adjustment is sufficient.
Thankfully, I bought Viking shocks for my 2nd gen F, but there too I will keep an eye out for that and measure. So very much appreciate your input/experiences.
Hoping more folks will take time to view this thread, and provide additional info as well.

I've been primarily dealing with Scott, but have spoken with Doug a few times. It certainly sucks to see once prominent companies start to lose it.
I will say my experience doesn't mirror yours. That doesn't make that okay though.
