Stock w/ the front shocks for indoor, just go up 10wt-20wt in oil if you are bottoming too much for your local jumps or on bigger out door jumps. The 8ight shocks are a bit too long for the front, but work great on the rear. I use a 35wt oil in the 8ight shocks, but adjust to your liking. I use 8ight shocks front and rear on my Hyper SC10 pro though..

Just keep in mind when playing w/ springs and oil weights typyically you want just enough spring to keep your truck at the correct ride height too much spring for your oil wt and you will be bouncey. Thicker oils same spring to control the dampening IE if you're slapping hard put in thicker oils and you won't as it's harder to compress the shock. Keep in mind if you change your oil weight too much you may need a slightly stronger spring to get the rebound for handling... typically if you go that far you're not going to have great performance for normal driving/racing. It's a balance, start with a known good config and make slight changes to dial in your rig to your style.
