As for your track , it will come down to personal preference and driving style . You also need to take into consideration what shock pistons are in the shocks before making any big changes .
I always liked running my trucks with softer springs then some others at my track . Best thing to do is get some practice and talk to a few fast guys at your track as far as set up and go from there . Not everyone runs the same setup as driving styles are different .

The stock shock pistons from my mf2 kit.

about 10 years ago - at the off-road stock nats, it was so hot inside the building, we were shooting some type of freon (I think I spelled that wrong), into the motor to get it as cold as possible before the start of the run, that's how hot the motors were getting during the runs.
I also remember water dipping stock motors too break them in - even heard stories of someone dipping in the toilet at one hotel race. The good old days!

I just took my rear shocks apart and they had 3 holes in them.
BTW what shocks are more important, front or rear shocks? Like if I only have time to do 1 rebuild or change of shock oil, which one needs it most?

They all have three holes and the color determines the size of the holes . You should have red pistons in yours . Both front and rear shocks are just as important . It only takes a few minutes to change the oil all four .
FYI
#56 pistons are red , #57 are black , #55 are orange , and #54 are blue
