Do you know the spring rate? As they are what I run on my big truck and cant find springs that are 100% perfect. All the Baja springs seem to be way to stiff. Running 4 lb/in Losi springs at the moment.

Lovin the truck, looking killer, the body really sets it apart

Yes they're 5b RC4WD shocks. Not sure the rate but they are stiff. Still need to get it all loaded with battery and everything so not concerned about rate just yet. Thanks for the comments

I ran a pair of those shocks in one of my old rigs.

I found that axial springs fit inside the shock body. Giving my a wide range of spring rates to work with.

Little progress form the build day yesterday. Got the front and rear trac bar bracket fabbed and the front mounted. Fairly happy with the way it turned out.

It's getting there. Not where I would like it to be, but considering I have 4 other builds on the table, and the weather has been horrendous. Never a dull moment
Thanks MJ

Waiting for a decent day to get outside and fab up my trany and weld it in, and finish the cage work. I have delrin rear lock outs coming and a spool to test. Lots to do, and many projects on the bench.

Oopsy, wrong pic of the rear

Cage tacked in place. I think I'm going to add some more gusseting just for aesthetics. Just kind of, there in the this pic.
