I need to rebuild my shocks...they've been neglected for a year or so. I'd like to upgrade them while I'm at it. What do you guys think? Has anyone had any that are just bad ass? I'm not against fully replacing them. Right now I've just got stockers.

I have proline power strokes on my wraith. I've only really drove the truck twice though so can't really say if there all that.

I was thinking about those but I thought they might be too short? I didn't measure the stockers though.

There's also the option of just rebuilding these using STRC aluminum bodies and caps...

Edit: plus I have all the different rate springs for these already.

My wraith sits pretty low it also has the lowering shock mounts. I like the new axial shocks on the rubicon kit. Not sure what the size is on those really

I think they're too short for sure, they're stock length for an SCX. Anybody tried the GMade shocks? I've seen Roberts fancy pants ones but I think they're too big for this rig, they're pretty huge.

yeah I saw the king shocks...I think the bright blue is a bit much for my dark and mysterious rig.
