Default Help me find very small shocks

Hi

I found this Toyota crawler on youtube and decided I want to try to build something like that.

I will go with a SCX chassis with sprung shocks up front and hopefully manage to build 1/4-elliptical leaf springs at the back. But I need something to damp the suspension in the back with. Does anyone know where I could find a 50-60mm shock with as much travel as possible. It's a plus if the shocks outer diameter is small.

I hope this picture shows what I'm looking for.

I have thought of using mini t shocks with stiffer springs but again it was just a thought never really looked into it.

I have also thought of the mini-t shocks. The eye to eye lenght seems good. But how much travel do they give? I think I would need something like 20mm.
