Axial jk shock help??

[Richeycrawler]

What kind of shocks can I put on my jk that will lift it some and keep the body roll to a minimum and still let it articulate ! It seems that when I'm on a hill it seems to roll over on the shocks but once the weight shifts it comes on over ! Any help would be greatly appreciated thanks!!

Pro-Line Powerstrokes for the Slash are a great shock to go with. However, before you spend that money, mess with the shock oil and spring rates.

Agreed. Buying new shocks won't help you. Spring rate sand oil weights are what makes a difference. The only thing different shocks have to offer is different dimensions and a lighter wallet.

The reason I bought new shocks is because the stock plastic ones leak. The proline do not leak at all. I am running the scaler proline shocks and I love them..!

Yes and lifting it will make it roll over even more. 30 - 40 weight shock oil in stock shocks or Proline Scalers should work fine unless your truck is really heavy, then you'll have to play with oil and stiffer springs.

what are the rest of the specs on your rig? stock electronics placement? any weight in the wheels or in the axles? how are your driving skills?
i would start with this stuff first before swapping shocks. A bone-stock RTR scx10 out of the box is a VERY capable rig that has already been proven to beat many built rigs if you know how to drive it.
