I lifted with some 130 mm shock's and VP wider hubs (6or7 sum thing hubs ) and taller tires and it crawls great looks a little funny with wide stance but it worked for me much more flex,and ground clearance

The stock wraith, even with kit springs, is too tall. Why make it worse?

If you are looking to lift it for novelty, do it. Keep in mind your performance will suffer. If that's not an issue, roll on brutha!

Lower the thing, the wraith sucks at a high center of gravity especially if you run brushless. There is one trick that I'm sure most of you know but its free. On the axle their is the shock and lower link mount that is held in by two screws on the other side, simply flip them 180 degrees. (Do the front and rear). Trust me this will work, it lowers the wraith to a better center of gravity. Their are many other ways to lower the wraith and have it with good suspension movement. Good luck.
