Default Gmade piggyback shocks

Hey guys. I have stock axial shocks on my wraith and they're so leaky that the truck doesn't even spring back up. Was thinking about getting the gmade piggyback shocks for it. Was wondering if they would be a good buy and also if they would fit on the truck.

I run the 103mms on my wraith and I love them! The have never leaked, are super adjistable and look fantadtic under there. The mounting location can he a tad tight for the reservoir but once ther are bolted down the fit nicely.

They work great, unless you want to mount the rear in the front most stock hole. They won't fit. I actually have mine mounted upside down on the rear, because I Wanted the top side to be in the front most mounting hole, and the reservoir wouldn't allow it.

But function wise they are great.

I never thought to put them upside down! Ive got mine in the first hole currently. I added a ball end as a spacer and you could actually use the second and 3rd holes with the way the top of the shock dips to the reservoir. I prefer the look of a slightly angled shock though so i left it there.

Definitely recomend the Gmades, you could always try the no reservoired ones as well.

If you spin the reservoir 180 you can get it to fit on the back mounting point as well.
