Love the truck stock but I think it can be better. Thanks
The general go to piston is the 8x1.3. A neutral spring suggestion is green front & rear. Some like the overall stiffness higher than that, some like it a little stiffer in the rear. The springs are kind of all over the place depending on if they run indoor or outdoor, big jump, small jump.
Since you have the original box stock you should be running black front and pink rear.
Tekno pistons are $25, fioronis are $35. Spend the extra $10 on the fioronis.
If you are running smooth indoor like I am and you already have the pink rear spring...
Buy the Durango white/black front spring (TDR330413), fioroni's and some 27.5 & 22.5 wt oil. (I have gone back & forth on the rear oil, 22 & 20... leaning towards 20 now but 22's a safe place to start). Build the shocks emulsion zero rebound.
$35 pistons, $5 spring and you have the best setup for a smooth indoor track I have found yet (should be very good outdoor as well but can't attest to it).
That's my 2¢, maybe others will have piston & spring combos to share that work for them as well.
