I like the shocks, but besides the thicker rods and heavy duty rod ends, they work about the same as the stock shocks. They have survived some seriously bad landings.
I kind of blew it on the tower to tower brace. I didn't even think that the body sits below the shock tower. So my body wouldn't fit......OOPS. So I cut a strip out of the bed of the truck so the body would fit. That rod looks like it's coming out of the cab and sits over the bed of the truck. Acctually ends up looking cool, but I am having trouble getting the body pins in. They go, but it takes more time.
