Arrma alloy shocks.
These are a direct bolt on just use your stock shock springs on them.

Proline Racing shocks.
These are a direct bolt on but a bit expensive compared to a lot of the other options.

Arrma Typhon 6s shocks -
The best place to source these is from Jenny's Rc. Use the Axial bushings in the upper mount to take up the space.
fronts 104mm eye to eye https://jennysrc.com/collections/no...-springs-red-ara8606v5?variant=32972236685366
rears 117mm eye to eye https://jennysrc.com/collections/no...pers-springs-ara8606v5?variant=32972252708918
HSP shocks -
A lot of people have used these shocks with great results. They are HSP Front 81003 and HSP Rear 81002 shocks. Use the affor mentioned Axial bushings in the shock caps. Remember that these are cheap Chinese shocks, they work okay but do not expect much for quality.
fronts are 110mm eye to eye.
rear are 130mm eye to eye.

Big Bore eBay shocks -
Cheap ebay shocks these also need the previously mentioned Axial shock bushings. These shocks do not have bladders and can be a bit tricky to bleed, some users have had issues with the stock pistons having too small of holes, the rod ends are pretty poor, the shafts bend and they tend to leak.
fronts are 102mm eye to eye.
rears are 114mm eye to eye.
