I think he is asking what kind of specific spring.
It also depends on your shock choice (Maxx, Savage, etc.)

I tried this on my stick clod and was using threaded gpm shocks I put the hardest losi mini t springs inside the shocks and it was still to soft for my taste but if you run them on a regular truck you should have better luck.

just for looks. Instead of the coil over look, you get the nitrogen shock look, like many 1:1 rock buggies run, no spring just a "bare" looking support shock.

also....
-internal shocks use a smaller spring which in turn is lighter
-sometimes this method is used to get appropriate clearance on links and what not.
