This is pretty crude, had an idea and threw it together.
I got the Traxxas big bore aluminum shocks.. the other ones I ordered wouldn't be here until June. Got the red springs that have a rate of 2.5 constant, unlike the white ones which were a progressive rate.
I filled the shocks with the oil they came with, and the rear sat WAY lower than it did before with the stock shocks.. I spaced the springs out with no luck. Then I got to looking and had a genius idea. Dual rear shocks.

It works like a charm, it's a little bouncy in the rear but it's not almost dragging the ground like it was before.
Co-worker suggested I should put 40 weight oil in the shocks and see what that does for me. I'm just glad to have this thing together and driveable again. :nod:
