So i've been slowly getting this truck ready for a local comp coming up. It will be my first and i've owned this truck for quite some time.

It's been through its fair of changes and i think i've figured out the route i'm going

The truck is basically stock with a few tweaks here and there. Its 4 link front and back now with axial parts got some big mudslinger tires on gmade steelies. TSS chassis i just put on (which made the biggest difference) and a 45t rc4wd motor. Topped it off with my proline blazer body. I haven't really run the truck at all just on some small rocks and dirt around the house so i'm really not 100% of its current performance but i know the next thing i want to look into is replacing the stock shocks. I wanted to go a more scale look so i looked into the gmade g transition shocks and ended up ordering a set. They turned out to be not at all what i wanted for the truck. To tall and not enough travel

So before i blow my money on more shocks (which i think i'll hold off until after the comp now) what shocks should i be looking in to? I want a tube shock to look more realistic but at this point i don't think i'll find one that will hold the weight of the truck and look scale to me. So i'm more open in my search now and curious as to what others are running with success on their rigs?
Quick picture of how its sits right now which is quite a bit taller than stock almost think i need some droop?

I have had very good luck with the Pro-line Powerstroke Scaler shocks. They come with multiple springs and are easily tunable with different weight shock oil.

Low COG FTW.

There was a thread a while back a guy picked up these super cheap China shocks and they worked great for him. I can't find it now but a couple other people posted about how they liked them as well.
