LST towers will physically bolt onto the Muggy since the Muggy uses LST2 suspension. The problem the LST shock tower is taller and the Muggy shocks are shorter. Keep the LST towers with LST shocks.

Edit: The Muggy and the 8ight are totally different platforms and stuff doesn't interchange. The exceptions are the diff cups, outdrives, center diff and wheel hexes. The front ring and pinion from the 8ight may fit the Muggy diff cases but the ratio is different and I believe the bearings are different as well.

Quick thought, I use xxl towers and shocks, I call it the mega muggy. The only problem is finding a body that sits high enough. Expect a more mt like ride, personally love mine and would highly recommend it.

The only ones I've seen were on a build and they were either Hot Racing or GPM, I forget which one. RD Logics may have made them also.

The aluminum inner bulkheads are long gone my friend....I've looked everywhere. Are you breaking them? It's the only I break on my muggy anymore, and I just keep a bunch of stock plastic ones handy.

One trick...that some might frown on...is to use a more aggressive threaded screw, like an old school traxxas Philips head thread, they hold better and although it will not be the original look, it holds up far better than those puny 3mm stock screws

If you find aluminum, please let me know....

Default muggy

They will interchange if you end up wanting to sell your old muggy towers I will buy them off you or trade you aluminum LST towers for them. They do make the albuinum bulks there just very hard to find I run them on one of my muggy conversions and love them
