Something looks wrong with the shock bottoms though, not sitting on the shock ends properly.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I currently use :
#54000 - M-Chassis Aluminum Damper Set
#54583 - M-05 Ball Head Suspension Shafts - Titanium Coated @ Front
#54296 - M-06 Ball Head Suspension Shafts - Titanium Coated @ Rear

I tried to install the shorter shock ends, but it lifted the front and rear arms, and the ground clearance were around 1 - 1.5 mm (with 55mm tires)

Therefore, I opted for longer version of the shock ends (available from #54000), and this provides better ground clearance for the chassis.
