add some fuel line to the outside of the shock shaft to limit how far it droops.

That won't work, or at least I don't see how it could.

What the op could do though, is add external springs and adjust until height is right.

I'm assuming the mini-t spring is on top of the piston to give you the 2" of ride height. Just go a little longer than you have already. More spring inside shouldn't mess with the ride height all that much unless you are looking for alot more height. The other thing you could try is a longer ball end to lengthen the whole shock.

That is how mine is going...FULL droop, with no springs...2.5" ride height. Running Losi Crawler Shocks inverted with about 1/2" of Nitro Fuel Tube on the shaft outside of the shock body. TONS of GC and low CoG.

I am running Integy MSR-10 shocks, up front I have soft springs and 30 wt. and in the back I have no springs and 30 wt. I want to switch to 50 wt, with same spring setup. I like not having the springs in the back, seems like the rear end just goes with the flow. I have experienced less roll overs and quite a bit of articulation from it. The MSR-10's are a pain to get right with fluid.
