I like Savage shocks because you could mount them more vertically than 4" shocks, and still keep the articulation of a heavily angled 4"er. A more verticle shock reduces body/chassis roll.

I build my trucks with Savage shocks only. I like not having the cantilever setup. I actually changed over my TXT-1 to run savage shocks too. Much better now.

I have never ran with anything but Savage shocks so I might be kind of biased.

ya its all in the placement if you put the 4 inch shock at a nice angle then you can get just as much or even more articulation as a savage mounted vertical so just get a nice strong and soft shock and screw with angles....

when using a 4" shock do you guys prefer a link mounted shock or a axle mounted shock asuming the angle is correct ?
