Sounds like Marcus is going to end up with some of my money sooner or later doesn't it? Ha ha ha.
Question about the first page of this thread. All good info, but I don't see any of the fun stuff like slipper issues, clutch baskets, warped A-arms, etc. discussed. I assume I just need to hunt/search the thread to find that?

The way you say that, it sounds like you are running through horse dung...I don't think anyone around here would know what tire will work best for that...
I would think that if it's hardpack "dirt" that smaller pin tires (like holeshots) would work well, and if it's really loose "dirt" use somethign with a larger pin (like calibers). If it's moist and sticky, but hard packed, then barcodes or rebars would probably work well.

Thanks Jason

Ok after a few hours of reading on here and looking up on the internet I have to ask now since I haven't found anything, how do you adjust the ride height? Is it just a shock mod, or is there more to it? By shock mod I mean something along the lines of fuel tubing or something else on the shafts under the piston to stop the travel? Or is it a adjustment of the pre-load with the screws on the shock cylinder?

Just the preload collars on the shock bodies to get it to a settled height measured from the lowest part of the chassis front and back. You still want droop for offroad, so I haven't heard of many people adding fuel tube/spacers in the shocks to limit downtravel unless there are special circumstances like running on carpet or something.

Did you put spacers on the outside of the shaft between the lower shock mount and shock body? Because if you put internal limiters on your shock shaft, you're limiting downtravel, not uptravel. Unless you put the spacers on top of the shock piston.

I ordered some garodiscs im running the cc3800 so im hoping i wont need the basket too . I guess well see .lol. other then that i love this truck !!! kicks butt and im eating slashs for lunch even when my buddys run 3s . lol

Not wanting to limit the upward travel at all of it. Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of the shocks or limit their actual ability?

Umm... Marcus, do you have the link for your Garolite pads?
I might be getting them together with my new punchy pack, and see if I can get this slipper sorted with as little weight as possible, that implies your pads on stock slipper
Btw, how much would it cost to ship em to Spain via the cheapest available method?

What I'm really trying to do is limit body roll while turning, I've ordered sway bars to help with that, but I know on most vehicles by lowering the center of gravity helps with this too, which is why I said limit the downward travel. Or is there another way of doing this with this truck?

No one in southern Spain really did off road, more on road tracks.
