Just wondering if there has been much discussion about the pro's/con's on the various upper shock mount positions? Is there a better position than others for crawling etc? there are the 3 positions (holes) and I was curious as to why? What affect will this have on the handling of the wraith? As a newby to all this I am keen to make sure I'm not missing out on a simple and free gain if some one has had experience in testing the various locations.

Thanks in advance.
 
i might be wrong, and im sure ill get corrected if i am, but afaik, leant back shocks articulate better, where more upright shocks are stiffer and give better handling but less flex.
 
I drove my RTR Wraith as it came and then moved the shocks and the mounts to lower the center of gravity. I haven't noticed any performance difference flex wise. I did notice that my truck does not roll over as much with the shocks and mounts moved/reversed.
