If you do roll out in inches...

2.25 tire x 3.14 = 7.06
128 spur / 34 pinion x 1.83 internal drive = 6.88

7.06 / 6.88 = 1.02 roll out

I recommend running the Monsters between .97 to 1.02 and ROAR stockers at .90 - .98.. Red/Red springs on both motors.

On your question about the bottom shock rod end yes you need to cut all 4 off 1/8th inch to let the spring keeper move closer to the ball. For my friends outside of the US, 1/8 th inch equals to 3.18 mm.

Your welcome!

To best answer your question..........Because Todd said to do it!!!! LOL Really on the original brackets and set-up Todd called for the shortening of the lower shock end by 1/8th inch so I did it.

Trimming the shock eyelet allows proper ride height adjustment, when using brackets. Too much preload with the new shock position

As opposed to cutting off a full 1/8", I found that removing 3/32" from the top of the eyelet to be a good solution. Gives a marginal amount more threads for the shock shaft to screw into.
