Default 2.2's but body rubbage

Just wondering how all you 2.2 guys are running them, the only way I can get somewhat acceptable body rubbage is to crank up my stock plastic shocks, but now it has no flex and bounces like a radio shack job all over the place.

I'm thinking of a set of 110mm king shocks, but figured I'd ask here before spending money in case I'm missing something

Looks nice, but the only way is to do what you did and/or cut the heck out of the body.

I would cut that body up. You'll get better performance if the suspension is actually working rather than being so stiff that it hinders it.
