the integy shocks don't have as many problems on the x because the shock tower is made of a siffer plasitc. the reason people bend shock shafts on the integy shocks on the 25 is because the shocktowers are made from the same soft plastic as the skidplate. then with the shock body being aluminum and not having any flex at all, the shaft bends because it is the weakest part of the shock. get some gpm multimount aluminum shock towers(i think they are like 30 bucks) and then you will not bend shock shafts so easily because then you would have to bend that arm which is made of the siffest plastic hpi makes on the savage.
