Need new springs for my truggy

Hey guys, Lately I have been trouble with my truggy bottoming out, i cant drop the thing 6 inches without the chassis slapping. The truck weighs 10.5lbs RTR, which springs and oil would you guys reccomend for non-big bores?

Im running 50w oil now:yes:

Thanks

Thicker oils, you might need to go over 70wt, another thing is to add preload.
I would start from thicker oils and then adjust rideheight with preload.

Slightly off topic but where can you get preload spacers for 15mm shocks?

sorry to dissapoint :)

Im pretty sure its the springs, i compress the suspension, and it only comes back up to below bones level..:neutral:

And you can allways use cable ties as preload spacers.
