I may be wrong but wouldn't a slightly longer shock end get you there?

Also I am using an Associated SC10 body and it fits perfectly.

I tried the longer shock ends(jammin has some for this truck) but you just can't mount the front shocks high enough on the tower to stop the shocks from bottoming before the chassis. It's really a limited design, which works fine in most conditions, including mine, but there are improvements to be made. This suspension design hasn't changed a bit from the crt.5 setup, and that was a truck about half the weight of this truck. The stock shocks are at their limits on this truck.

Wonder if the new Pro-Line Power Stroke Shocks for the Slash would offer any improvement?
