I have the Roadtech (GPM) 70mm in the front and their 90mm ones in the rear and have had no issues at all.

Are both the front and rear kit shocks around 70mm?

The new RC4WD Ultra Scales are now in stock and they're available down to 70mm:

Yeah, it's 70mm front and rear, but you can run larger if you're looking for more travel. I'm running 80mm in the front and 90mm in the rear. Standard mild dremeling of the front arms to get the increased articulation.

rc4wd seems like a lot.. how are the gpm ones?

You can make anything work... "thumbsup"
But they will take a significant amount of modding in the front. I'd probably switch over to the longer TL01 front Arms to attempt to be able to use that amount of travel: http://www.tamiyausa.com/articles/feature.php?article-id=499

You might even need to build new upper spring mounts...

Here's my truck on 80mm front / 9mm rear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms9YpnjVJus
