Default Unsprung Savage shocks on WK

Here's the pics
This is nearly stock and flexing of the XJ's right front wheel/tire

Now here's with the S25 shocks (no springs)

The main problem is that the part of the tire that wraps around to the sidewall catches on the bare shock body and jams things up when at full flex stuffage

And heres the other problem, body lean!

Then this is at rest and full droop


and here's a link to the Photo bucket I have these and other pics

Yeah those shocks need to be limited BAD and run a way thicker oil to prevent one side unloading while turning so no body lean

Savage shocks are waaay too long for a crawler and you've got way too much flex to be a good crawler. The stock shocks are kinda long already.
