Droop Kit and Long Shocks?

[Maxxamillion]

I did a search but I didn't quite see what I was looking for..
Will a droop kit and some long 110 or 125mm shocks work together? I'm thinking raising the top shock mounts (droop kit) yet putting on longer shocks so I can get a low or stock stance yet have more travel.
Am I thinking this through right?
I have a stock Spawn with VP links and front battery plate coming. This is for crawling and connecting rock sections. Stock speed is enough.
My rocks are covered in snow right now. :-/

Most droop kits are only going to get you 10mm or so, any shock over 110mm will raise the truck from stock height.

This is just a thought but you might be able to double up on droop kits to make it sit lower

I've got some parts coming for my Dingo to do just what you're describing, I'm adding longer shocks so they need to sit higher. Obviously these parts won't work on the Wraith, but you should be able to find something similar.

Something like this maybe, 1" (32mm) drop/droop.

Axial Wraith 1 Inch / 32MM Optional Lift or Drop / Droop Kit

Darn, its endless! Getting back into rc and the Wraith has so much aftermarket it crazy. My head is going to explode lol.
I was feeling happy about the 10mm lower & lengthen to 110mm shocks, and now you throw the 32mm drop in?!
So that could drop it 32mm & then use 125mm shocks? I wonder what will bind. Could be a lot of travel.
Now to decide between Level 3 droop kit or go long with the 32mm drop. Think I may go long..

Thanks

The 32mm drop/droop kit has four settings, max is 32mm not sure what the minimum is. I hate Amazon as they rarely have decent description, but I'll try to locate some more specs.


....and here it is on e-Bay just a little cheaper, still no decent description or instructions.

By some carbon fiber sheet and fab your own droop kit.

Not sure 125 shocks will realy gain you much. Laying the front shocks down and being long would allow lots of flex in front. The rears being more vertical will keep it stable while fronts twisted out making contact with rocks. The front can also droop out farther and maintain contact better when the belly is on the rocks.
High clearance links are also hand for keeping rubber bitting rock in extreme angles

I just bought both droop kits. I'll put them side by side and then decide on shock length.
My VP high clearance links should be here in the next few days.
