A ton of flex is not always a good thing, but, proline power strokes are a popular choice, many others including myself run the RC4WD king shocks and the junfac shocks are popular. If you want a little more flex you can remove the rubber bump stops from the stock shocks, or go with a 100-110mm aftermarket shock. Keep in mind if you go with a longer shock you may need to upgrade your driveshafts to something that can handle the more extreme angle.

more flex will be determinant on the shocks mainly. if you are using the stock shocks I'd change out the main spring for the soft or super soft springs and that helped my rig's get a bit more flex than they used to have. also get rid of the bumpstops too. The nice thing about the gearhead setup is if you need to eliminate the shock hoops for body fitment.

I agree with what Shinjari is saying. If you take the bumpstops out, and soften the springs up just enough so you get full shock travel you will have more than enough flex, and will already find yourself trimming/clearancing things to accommodate said flex. Any more flex will require longer/angled shocks and possibly a custom link setup that won't bind as well as plenty of additional cutting/trimming. If you are looking for more flex than you can get with the stock shocks, you may want to just look into more of a competition level crawler, instead of a scale crawler.
