If you are wanting to lower your ride hight. You are better off getting smaller shocks. Or you can reposition the ones that you have right now.Theere are two different ways to do this.1.relocate the bottom shock ball end to the lower link mount.Get four 2mm x20mm screws and 2mm nylock nuts for this mod to replace the stock screws.Place the shock ball end to the inside of the axle closest to the diff.That will drop it about a 1/4".you will need to cut the old shock mount off.2.Remove the body mounts and install the ballends for the shocks in place of the screws that hold the body mounts on.You will have to drill out the holes in the chassis and maybe the body mounts to do this mod.This will also lower your rig ,but also soften the suspension a bit,due to the angle of the shocks(less resistance).Get stiffer springs all around and get an extra still spring for the left rear shock to help prevent the chassis from twisting to the left when you apply a lot of throttle.Their is so much to tell you how to set up this little thing.So get a pencil and paper,cause school is now in session.Give me a call later today and I will give more info.505 228 8743
