Default +5" Coil-over Shocks?

I'm building a 60/40 chassis and need a set of 6" shocks. I'm running the Losi 4" in the front and, currently, am running a set of 'stock' Berg shocks in the rear but would like a more Losi comparable one to replace the Bergs. Anyone know of a good set? The more tunable the better.

TIA!

Matt

Shocks made for the Savage is in that range. I know Integy makes some tunable ones with piggybacks called the msr9

also XTM mammoth shocks are nice aluminum threaded coilovers come in 2 lengths and are usually cheap on Ebay. The fronts are just over 4.5 but the rears are just under 6"

i'd possibally suggest losi 8T rears. not sure on the length of them, but they are still losi's, and since they are from a fairly serious racing truck, they should be plenty tunable...

I like both the LOSI 8T's and the XTM Mammoth's. I like that the XTM's are available in both 6" and 5" lengths.

They do have a variety of spring rates for these shocks don't they? The XTM's come loaded (even with oil). The LOSI's don't show they even come with springs...from what I've found thus far anyway.

Thanks for your help.
