Granite Aftermarket Shocks

[crimsonfancy]

Okay here's a pic for illustration purposes using some garbage wltoys shocks I swapped out on a different truck. Shock on the left is the original length of this shock for comparison and shock on the right has an 8mm nylon spacer on it. Install a spacer of whatever length you want to take out of the travel onto the shaft before inserting it through the shock body during reassembly. Then add your rod end, oil, and bleed like normal etc and you're done.

Excellent! ?

I'm rebuilding a set of stock shocks later tonight and can snap a picture of what it looks like to install a spacer to limit the travel if you want.

Awesome! Thanks

Do they sell spacers just for this or is it just as easy to use nitro fuel tube?

I just happened to have 3mm nylon spacers from my drone stuff but since the big bore is 4mm I can't use those. Hit up your hardware store and you can find some nitro fuel tube, nylon tubing, nylon washers, hell take a cheap plastic pen apart and cut it and use that lol.

I ordered the HoBao shocks this morning from JRC. I’ll modify them to work on my BR, probably add some photos in the process.

Nice! Did you make any mods to install them?

the top of the shock had to find a pivot ball to work with the shock and shock tower. The bottom I used so washers to space them out away from driveline

HoBao shocks came today. Shortened the travel on the rear. Still waiting on some 6.8mm pivot balls so I can finish the install.

Now if I could only stop hijacking threads here by going off topic...

Is that a Outcast body on a granite?

Is that a Outcast body on a granite?

Yeah, but it was tricky to get it to fit since it's a very wide body. I am running typhon arms with 9mm wide hex adapters from GPM to give me a much wider stance but even with that it still required a lot of trimming of the front fenders and bumper to not rub when turning full lock. I like the look though.

Will the original Arrma Granite shock tower bushings fit in the big bore shocks? Im finally about to order a set of new shocks and want to double triple check before i buy 'em. And what size fuel line tube do i get as spacers if i want to lower these bad boys?

Any help would be dope! Thanks yall
