Default shock recommendations

I'm in the market of buying some new shocks, but not sure which one's to get. I've been looking at the Gmade's 104mm but don't know how good they are, any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

The Gmade Zeros are decent shocks, but 104mm is a bit long for the SCX10. The Gmade transitions are ok for a light truck, but aren't really adjustable, so I took them off my truck.

The Pro-Line Powerstroke Scaler shocks are really nice, but will run you about 2x the cost of the Gmade Zeros (which you can get in 94mm).

the axial alum. upgrade for the stockers, pro-line power strokes would be the only thing I would want to put on mine right now 90-95mm is the perfect shock length, anthing longer is too long, and anything shorter just doesnt have enough travel.

I run Pro-lines on 1 rig and Axial stockers w/ aluminum upgrades on the other. Stock Springs & 30wt oil. Both work extremely well!

These shocks look awesome. Do they perform as good as they look or are they all show?

I've just installed the Gmade G-transition in my truck and it made a ton of difference! It's not as articulate as before but it climbs like mad! Low chassis and high tires is the recipe for success!!
