That's a ton of ride height. how much longer are those shocks? Are you going to put limiters in the shocks?

The control arms are hanging down non supported, the mt shocks are just a little longer than the xb's

Well I did some serious thinking on the Grafil body install with the nose piece, and this is what I came up with, I found another reason to get a 7075rc aluminum diff! all I want to know Doug is the warranty still good? LOL

OK after extensive trial and error(more error) this is what I have come up with, I had 7075rc make me shock towers 1" taller, I mounted MT rezzies fronts on front rears on rear, I am using HPI springs front/hard on rears and rear/soft on fronts, At this point I am pretty satisfied and until I can run it to see how it handles, this is a done deal!

That looks a lot better!

Keep us posted on how those spring rates work.

I think I want to stretch it some. I will talk to Ol'fart about it. I would like to add an inch to the wheelbase.
