Rubber bumper + 3mm of clips keeps my diffs happy.
Edit: you don't notice the limiters if you land flat, only if you land on one tire and you have other issues with your lap time if that happens because you will be squirrely on your landing anyway.
You can either limit up-travel by putting the spacers on the shock shafts, or just let the CVD hit the out-drive....either way, your uptravel will be limited essentially the same. The difference is that one way will damage your sun gear, diff housing, your out-drive, and your CVD....and the other won't.
I set my up-travel by fully compressing the shock, then turn the wheel....if the out-drive catches on the CVD, add 1mm. keep going until the outdrive no-longer binds on the CVD. Golden.
The 2 stagers should help with a real bumpy track because there it allows the suspension to come back down faster to deal with the next bump. Standard pistons will have your suspension higher up in the travel with less up travel ready to absorb the next bump.
Try them, I have them on all of my offroad rc's. It was a huge difference on my mugen mbx-5.
