Have you tried adding more preload or stiffer springs? If you like your spring setup, you could also add some O-rings to the shock shafts to limit the travel.

when i had those shocks i just put the stock slash springs on them. But if you do this you need to thread the shock body down a ways. If you dont then the double rate on the spring will only catch and be super soft.

I USED 60wt. and stock dual rate springs on the piggy's with preload at about
1/2" down seems to be working fine. thanks guys for the ideas.

did anybody add spacers under the blue rubber shockstops? if so what did you use and how thick? shocks seem to travel farther than they need to, so truck bottoms out. Any ideas??????

ya you will need to go thicker weight and put the red springs on and adjust the shock to the high position on shock body and then try it and see if it doesn't bottom out i would go maybe 70-90 weight oil the slash is a pretty heavy car in the rear but keep trying and let me know
