help for shocks

[Belvis]

Hello to all,
I would like to buy shock absorbers for a rock crawler that are long:
-all compressed from 85 to 90mm (3.35-3.55 inches)
-all extended from 125 to 135mm (4.92-5.32 inches).
I would like them with external springs or with working piggyback and external spring, which ones are best on the market? I have no budget limits ....
thanks to all those who can help me ...

Axial Yeti rear is all I can think of that is close to your length/stroke desires. If you can make 6" extended to 4" compressed, Hpi Savage XL.

I'm not sure how long E-Maxx shocks are, but they might work

The E-Maxx uses XX-Long Traxxas Ultra plastic shocks or Traxxas #2662 Big-Bore aluminum option shocks.

That's a quality non-piggyback choice.

If you have to do piggyback shocks (most don't work appreciably better than standard) then Proline and GMade XD shocks would be your best options, IMHO.

GMade has a 93mm, 103mm and a 113mm version of the piggyback XD:

Gmade XD Piggyback Shock 113mm (2)

Pro-line makes a non-piggyback PowerStroke XT Shock in the 5" Yeti Rear size:

and Pro-Line Ultra Reservoir Shocks (105mm):

thanks for the advice Durok, but unfortunately many of those you listed I had already seen them and turn out to be too short for my use...
at the moment I found these that could do for me:
https://www.prolineracing.com/perfor...-xt-shocks.asp
Type II Alloy Shock (2) for Axial AX10 Scorpion (L=126mm) for R/C or RC - Team Integy
Rebound Adj Piggyback Shock (2) for Axial 1/10 & Off-Road Scale Crawler(L=124mm) for R/C or RC - Team Integy
Piggyback MSR11 Rock Crawler Shock Set (2) 128mm for R/C or RC - Team Integy

what are the best? As already said would only be used for rock crawling, must have a good progression in hard passes, I do not care that they have a good grip on the fast ...

The Pro-Line XTs are the best.

I personally would not use any Integy products on my vehicles except for some of their scale accessories - which just sit there looking pretty anyway!

thanks a lot for the answers... I realized that the Proline are the best... instead of the RC4WD's shock absorbers that I linked what you think? Let me explain better, can you try to explain me the main differences in dynamic behavior between the 2? because I noticed that for the RC4WD's is also available a kit with springs of different hardness, which I think makes them more adjustable, but this does not exist for the Proline's... I would like to use them in half droop, with 12-14mm in compression and the rest in extension ...
