wht makes them "too big". It looks as if you can just invert them (flip them over) and have plenty of room for the inbound drag link... Thats just what it looks like to me.

The Integy shocks are terrible and leak badly. On top of that, Integy is a thief and has stolen designs from vendors on this very forum.

As for a shock recommendation, Traxxas Big Bores work great and have plenty of spring options.

Big bore Traxxas E maxx or T maxx shocks with white losi springs. You can get 8 shocks for like 20 bucks.

Actually the Tmax xx long big bore shocks are too long (just like the stock ones). Losi 4" crawler shocks or traxxas long big bores are the standard.
