Default Looking for aftermarket shock hoops.

I'm looking for shorter shock hoops for my Bronco. I know Locked Up makes some for the rear of a SCX10 but I can't find any for the TRX4.

I have a Deadloc low COG chassis installed on my Bronco and I need something that's a shorter shock hoop, the stock mounts are too tall and I can't fit my body as low as I want. I'm about 1/2 in above the electronics skid plate with the body sitting on the front shock mount, even without body posts.

Any help is appreciated. I don't want to have to swap back to the stock chassis.

These are from Xtra Speed. (the ones on the right, I broke one of the leftys) They're a little shorter than the stock ones and you could cut the top row of holes off. That would make 'em another 1/4 inch shorter.




They're just barely taller than my servo, but it is shim'd up a couple of mm. Just a thought.

Instead of shock hoops, I think you should checkout cantilever suspension.

Jato, the front of the body hits the inner fenders like it was.

I did some more measuring today and the difference I needed was right at the amount the arches raised with the aftermarket chassis so I swapped back to the stock rails. Got it sitting right on the stock skids and low enough to hide the stock electronics tray.

I still need to trim the front of the inner fenders, they are hitting my light buckets and pushing the body forward.
