Default What suspension upgrade next?

got a brand new scx-10 dingo on the way as well as a D90 body. Was wondering if I could get some veteran advice on suspension upgrades. this will be my only crawler and love the scale looks of the hardbody trucks.

Thanks

If I'm not mistaken, 4 link setups don't change the performance of the truck. Or am I wrong?

By Dingo, I take you mean a Silver TR

Modifications I have made to mine:
Hitec 645MG servo (original AS-2 servo bushing worn out)
Custom made steering tie rod.
Pro-Line Titus 1.9 wheels with 6 oz Tuner weights in the front wheels.
Axial AX-10 Aluminum hexes (these have the lip and fit the Titus Wheels better)
Hand Brothers CMS.
Custom made 5/16 diameter Delrin lower links.
Custom made front delrin battery tray (buy Bowtie's, it's cheaper and easier , check the SCX -10 and Vendors threads)
Holmes Hobbies TorqueMaster BR-XL Waterproofed ESC
Holmes Hobbies Torquemaster Sport 35T brushed motor with a 14 tooth pinion.
3Racing winch mounted to the TR front bumper.
Hyperion 2200mah 3S battteries
Pro-Line Scale Accessories set #2 (scale points )
Custom made recovery strap (check the scale accessories thread for info and guess what, more scale points)

Parts on order:
Pro-Line scaler shocks (4)
Winch Anchor from Ebay
Mag-Lite 2A & 3A reflectors to make some custom lights that will light up the neighbor's house across the street

Things left to do
Install 4 link using the 4 link bracket that came with the TR RTR links parts tree as soon as I make the upper links
Mount headlight buckets in body with high intensity LEDs to light up the night.
Install rock lights.

The TXRCRCA North TX clup has a good group of scalers that all compete with our trucks so we tend to modify for both scale and competition

I appreciate the suggestions and will get on the ball about the shocks now.
