The muggy shocks are identical to the aftershock plastic body shocks, save for having a shorter shock shaft. i have not noticed my muggy shocks to be anything but smooth. Same with the aftershock units, no less smooth than the al bodies lst shocks I have.

The aftershock plastic body shocks are considerably lighter than the lst al units, just something to think about. I have broken the plastic shock bodies (in a crash that would have destroyed a maxx/revo so it was a very hard hit) but I have only done that once.

Lst shocks are about the best MT shock I have used, and they can handle large wheels, tires, etc. Best to leave them on the lst and just convert it, I prefer that truck over the savage.

You can usually find the aftershock/ramminator shocks on ebay for about 20 bucks a pair.

The black springs that come with them are good for a medium weight setup, or a lighter setup with heavy tires. My lst has them and with a 1521 and 6s lipo they can handle 50+mph with a variety of tires, from std badlands to the big/heavy lst2 atx tires. The heavier springs are a good upgeade if your savvy is getting heavy, but i would try the stock black springs first. Lots of spring info for these shocks on the lstforums.
