If you look at the pics of my truck, the shocks are laid down at 45 degrees or lower even, meaning you'd need shocks about 25% shorter than normal if you were to mount then onto normal arms whislt using GM towers.
I think the best compromise would be DUH or Nova towers, and some 1/8 scale shocks that are shorter than normal maxx shocks- buggy or truggy rears are what I use, but I recommend doing some careful measuring to see what length you need with the suspension arms level to represent slammed suspension- or something like that.  |
I'm not fimiliar with that method of limiting. Sort of went over my head aswell.
I was talking about putting zipties (i use colored ones matched to my color scheme so it doesn't look wack) through the shock towers and around the top a-arm. Fairly common practice. Does that still sound like it would murder the shocks.
