| Is there a way to give my TRX4 a slight lift?
The lift kit for the TRX4 adds about 1" ground clearance if i remember correctly. Is there anything on the market that would give me something like .25" lift? without adding arm links and what not? or si this not possible what so ever

Longer shocks will do the trick. It comes factory with 90mm shocks, throw on some 120mm or do and you’ll get a little bit of lift. Or if you want an ever cheaper way, you could just raise the body that 1/4” if that’s all your after. |

Some of that 1" lift that Traxxas mentions comes from the 2.2 tires that are 5.3" tall, 1.9 Canyon Trails are 4.6" tall. If ya install 100mm shocks and stick with typical 4.5-4.7" tall 1.9 tires, you'll technically be slightly over a third of an inch taller. 10mm equals just shy of .4 of an inch. |

turn the shock collers down it adds preload but also adjusts ride hight

The lift kit itself doesn't add any ground clearance at all-- it just raises the chassis, and the CG along with it. If you want more ground clearance, mount a taller tire. The Canyon Trail is relatively short at 4.6" tall, so a tire around 5" will give a reasonable "lift." If you just want to raise the body, just put on longer shocks. Bump steer and suspension performance will all suffer (as it's a 3-link front end,) but sometimes we do things more for looks than we do performance. I personally want the body as low as is practicably possible, but everybody's got their own thing. |

mount shock keys upside down and mount your shocks lower, this will raise you chassis.
