Default 2nd longest shocks?

What are the longest shocks other than the savage shocks? I'm finding that the savage shocks are a little too long. My savage shocks are 6.5" long (eye-eye) and i have another set of small red spring shocks that are 4" long (too short). Any shocks around 5 to 5.5"?

I'm thinking of cutting the savage shocks springs to shorten them and glue the ends of the springs to the shock absorber itself so the shock doesn't overflex with the spring just hanging there.

I had some 5" shocks on my Gecko 2 when I first got it... I thnk they were off an XTM X-Factor... Not 100% about the model but for SURE they were XTM shocks.. Check into the X-Factor and see if those are the ones or mebbe serach out which ones are the 5" ones...

I have been searching the web for Xfactor shocks but all i get is hits on the truck itself, not shocks. Couldn't find any on ebay either.

Put some spacers under the shock piston.
