They are called P Clips, just measure the diameter of the bar you want the clip to go on, you probably want around 8mm ones

So I ran the truck for the first time today and I noticed when I go over bumps the back bounces up. And tends to flip forwards if I'm going fast enough. What's the reason for this? Suspension too stiff?

Springs and or shock oil or a combination of both. I have mine where I really like it and it still does that from time to time. Haven't got a chance to test the new RC4WD rear yet due to all the rain. I am at 15WT oil in the rear. Tried 10WT and on some jumps it seemed to bottom out and throw the rear in the air on the rebound. 25WT it would seem to bounce too much on little bumps at speed. tried a ton of different springs and settled on kit springs in the rear AX31276 and AX31279. Probably have to test to find your sweet spot. There was a thread on another forum about a start point. Cliff notes version. Assemble and install shocks with no oil and do a drop test with truck ready to run. Change spring rates till truck will evenly rebound. Add shock oil and tune shock oil to get desired results. This is what I did and was very happy with the results I got. Real world driving I only had to make a few oil changes and never messed with spring rates again after initial set up.

I'm doing that exact setup. What is your preload set to? Or does that not even mAtter? Mine is prob 3mm. When I hit a big bump the front goes over smooth and then the back hits the bump and throws it in the air

I set front height to axle shafts about level or a little below then set rear where chassis is parallel or even with the build table surface. Remember after a few cycles new springs will take a set and collapse a little.

That's how I have the front set. The rear is deff not even with the chassis tho. I'll set the rear to that height and I'll run a couple packs through it and see how it is. Thanks man

I think I have the lower part of the shock mounted in the wrong hole. Is it supposed to be in the one closest to the front of the truck

Well I moved it to the front Hole and it feels much better. Before it was binding. Now it's smooth as butter
