I personally wouldn't spend that kinda $ for just the shock body when you can get a whole set of these...

It all depends on what shock setup you are comfortable driving with though, because there are also other shocks out there you can choose from. As far as oil that is something you just have to test and tune as well. Some run just the stock 30wt, others run much thicker. Also you can play around with running thicker in your left rear to cut down on torque twist. Same pretty much goes for springs as well, some run 3 mediums and one stock one, some run stiff rears and soft fronts. Do a little research on here to see what everyone is doing on their builds, and then decided how you think you would want it. With shocks and things like that, you just about have to experiment until you get the rig how YOU want it.

And the tires with the ARTR are pretty decent from what I've heard, but if you want different ones you will definately enjoy a set of Panther Cougars.

Personally, I'd suggest getting the rig out and wheeling it a bit before doing any changes. Get a feel for it, this way you'll know if your changes are in the right direction, or totally screwing it up!
