striaght shocks is the way to go for rock crawling and the cantailever setup is more for racing/bashing too. I had the cantalever setup on my jugg and took it off in favor for just the shocks

Ditch the canti's,a standard 4" shock is all you need.

heres what I came up with it seems to work fine but i'm not saying its the ideal setup either.

ok. i thought about mounting the shocks on the bottom links, but i dont know how to do it the right way, do i weld on a mount, i cant drill through it, becouse i have all thread and a pipe links. if you need pics, i will post them.
