Shock towers look nice all mounted up, I wish mine were that nice. Hack that CJ-8 up. |

Looks good. Got to love the Savage shocks and tall shock towers. They made a world of difference on my TXT.

i would run that body on the truck and make holes where the shocks wood go throw and cut the body on bottom to get a nice edge.

im seriously debating between doing a suspension like yours or keeping it short and stiff like it is... ive built my truc like a longer version of EeePee's txt and it works very well... but ive seen some impressive trucks on here with a lot more travel... i dunno.
