Not necessarily. By dropping the rear lowers at the axle, you've pulled back the instant center and increased anti squat. Raising the rear uppers will pull back/increase even further. Whether or not that is a good thing is entirely dependent on your setup.

There are a couple of good threads about this in general crawlers.

Whoa that's nuts ckrc use to sell them directly through amazon for the normal price. I'd just give ckrc a call about them maybe they'll be in stock soon.

Do these already come flipped on the spawn version?

Or can i still flip those mounts.

Just realized I misread your question.

My 2.2 Wraith has the rear upper shock mount flipped, but nothing has been done to the front upper shock mount. Ride height was adjusted via the shock placement and preloads to bring it back level. Technically not the best way to set it up, but it does pretty good as it sits so I'm not too worried about it.

Why are people so lazy these days if they want to limit droop go old school nitro fuel tubing on inside of the bore! I do that when I run Losi 4" BB's my Wraith I just did a rear droop plate to even the stance because my fronts are limited by a Bic pen retractable cut and measured spring inside the bore through the shaft internally.

Not true. They put that up so when that random person does have to cut, thats there for them. 2 buddys and myself all run BPC and no cutting.
