Default How to reduce flex?

Some guys have told me that I need to reduce the flex on my crawler. Can someone give me some tips on doing that? :-(

You can install small pieces of fuel line inside the shocks, under the piston. Standing the shocks up more vertically will reduce flex too. Limiting straps is another option.

Bender is right on, but if you're happy with the current spring rate don't go changing the shock geometry.
