The QA1 R132-250 is a complete rear coilover suspension conversion system engineered from the ground up for C10 Squarebody trucks equipped with a Ford 9-inch rear axle housing. This fully matched, bolt-in kit replaces the factory leaf spring setup with a modern torque arm coilover system, delivering a dramatic improvement in ride quality, handling, and stance — all without cutting, welding, or removing the truck bed.
At the heart of this system is QA1's unique bolt-in torque arm design, which manages rear axle rotation and drivetrain forces under acceleration. By connecting the rear axle to a forward chassis mount, the torque arm isolates drivetrain forces from suspension movement, allowing the coilovers to focus entirely on ride quality and cornering control. A Panhard bar is also included to precisely control lateral axle location.
The kit features single adjustable QA1 coilover shocks paired with 250 lb/in. high-travel springs — a firm spring rate well suited for loaded trucks or performance-oriented street driving. The single-adjust shocks allow easy rebound tuning so drivers can dial in their preferred ride character. Ride height is adjustable from 4 to 7 inches below stock, making it easy to achieve the perfect level stance.
