Default Shock options for Yeti

Anyone have any recommendations for alternative front and rear shock upgrades for the Yeti?

I've seen the Proline and RC4WD, didn't know if there were other options that others would recommend

I believe you can shop around and get better prices too.

The axial shocks are rebuildable, and have a variety of piston and spring options. The proline powerstokes I see pictured here and elsewhere always seem to be sagging under the weight of the yeti.

Yeah i have proline powerstrokes and they do sag. I need the next higher spring stiffness.
They soak up the small bumps at top speed quite well. The valving is great once you tune with proper weight oil.
Dont adjust the sag out with pre load though. I learned te hard way and it turned the front dog bones into chub destroyers.
Ymmv if you got cvd i guess thats a non issue.
Anyway... i got a deal on the prolines but there is other stuff out there. Just stay away from the chinese eye candy.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm using the stock front shocks with the blue springs and it doesn't feel firm enough. The Losi solution seem interesting and I might try that.

I'm gonna say Proline, but you need the spring set. I'm running red/yellow in the front, yellow/green out back
