I do not like the shock stand offs that are on there currently.
They push the shocks out too far causing the tires to rub when compressed.

What are you using for the lower shock mount?

This is pretty much how it came, It is one of those New Era's here is the link that I found that it goes with.

Dang that is close to the tire. If you get some 2.2 tires you will have a little more clearance. "thumbsup"

might try limiting your shock extention with a spacer in your shock body and removing the spacer between the shock and chassis and mounting the shock directly to the chassis on the front most hole.

Cool! Also was considering moving the shocks to the inside of the chassis and then where it is mounted to the axel also connecting them to the insides, or would that cause another issue?

Moving the shocks in helps with flex, but also could cause you to have more torque twist. You would probably have to make shock mounts on the inside of that chassis, if I remember correctly the outside is the only place it has mounts.

I am running proline hammers. Axial rockster wheels.
There are many different options. Any good beadlock wheel will work, the aluminum ones are pricy but you dont have to add weight later and you dont have to worry about cracking them like the plastic stuff.
Tires: everyone seems to be going with the rock claws or the panthers. I am going to do the same when my hammers wear out, but these perform great for now."thumbsup"

Looks good, I picked up one of those off of Ebay a few months back. New Era I belive. I didn't like the shock mount's either so I threw it back in the box and it's been there since. I'm glad you got it together very cool.
