Shocks are always a good upgrade. fine the thickest shocks that fit your truck and go with it as long as its not integy.

No one died in here, as far as I know it comparing to some other sites :D

Shocks are shocks n it shud b functioning properly with setting. Shocks shud meet ur mode of play or requirement. Some wants super strong bec mode of play is extreme, some just as precaution insurance just in case, some just for d bling bling of it, some has thick pocket n wants d best n most expensive and some simply like stock shocks bec it mets their requirement n mode of play.

If u don hv any issue wt stock n happy wt it, then I suggest to leave it as is. Upgrading ur shocks is always better if u got the bucks n or meet what u want out of it. I upgraded mine cuz stock keeps failing on me.

Agree - drop integy from ur list if u want to upgrade ur shocks for performance n durability reasons. It is expensive but crappy aloy grade with less than adequate plunger design.

////////////TY I APPRECIATE IT I JUST PLAY VERY HARD WITH THE TRUCK AND I WANTED A HEAVY DUTY SHOCK I GO HIGH SPEED OFF ROAD AND ON ROAD ANY SPECIAL TYPE YOU LIKE OR LINKS ID APPRECIATE ...????

then i suggest to go for stock alloy shock body and top cap...the HD alloy would be best. integy drop if..looks nice but not for hard bashing/extreme

For savage, i also use the LST2 alloy shock on my savage for track bashing. but if i want to do stunts/backflips and all, i change mine to stock savage big bore shock or savage big bore alloy shocks, most suited for stunts and all...

if the stock lst2 shaft or the stock tini lst2 shaft keeps bending or breaks, substitute/change the shock shaft to the integy msr ones with slight mod..they are much thicker and stronger,, i never broke or even bend it even once after some years.

Get the LST2 shocks...

thanx !

been wanting some lst shocks for my mta4, i went with the tt alloy shock bodies & caps & new bladders, piston & they've been good. lst's look nice n big volume. Are they as good as they look ? Look like handling's good on tracks with them, on the lst.
