Question Shock suggestions

I currently am running Traxxas GTR shocks and love them they are smooth, dont leak and built very well. But with my current setup Im in need of something with a little more travel for a slight bit more articulation. So what is out there that is built just as good as the GTR (or better) that has a slightly longer travel (like say 5~10mm more). Also overall length I would like to keep to a minimum and dont want a longer shock and have to limit it. Ive had Big bores and Losi's but Im looking for something different.

I was looking at a couple Ofna shocks online but cant find any i2i measurements on them. Anyone have any experience with Ofna shocks?

What kind are you looking at? I run an ofna pro comp 1/8. the shocks are great and can take alot of abuse. Not shure if this is what your looking for.

What the total length of those fully extended and compressed? I was looking at different ones. Im trying to find something that has a longer stroke then my current GTR's and around the same overall length or even slightly longer.

Thanks

The shocks on the rear of my OFNA Ultra gt lx buggy are ridiculous in width and length. And they are bullet-proof. They are probably a wee bit stiff for crawling, but that can be changed with softer springs.
