What sized crawler? I know a few guys use the Savage shocks. For the most part they are too long.

I have the short Maxx ones in my txt and they are very smooth, work awesome. The long Savage ones will only give you 0.3" more travel for almost double the size.

Piggyback shocks have an external resivoir for added volume compensation. It also helps cool the oil somewhat. This is mainly a benifit under extreme suspension cycling, like when hitting big air. They do look cool - but for the price you could get a nice set of Maxx sized aluminum shocks, maybe with threaded bodies for easy pre-load adjustment.

I use these to on my txt, and they are great so far. Wonder if there is any better out there worth trying ? I was thinking of the big 6 version to my scale txt, but im rather satisfied so far with these 5's, and those 6's are a little bulky... i guess i will try them sooner or later anyways
