I was originally planning to run DM-1 shock towers in my Jammin conversion since they both use the same bulkhead, but then decided to use modified X2 towers. After kicking that around for awhile and also changing my shock choice (from 1/8 buggy fronts to Revo shocks) I finally found the perfect towers, which are from the IGT.

The IGT towers bolt right up to the Jammin bulkheads, since they are almost identical. There are only two small mods that had to be done. One was adding a tiny amount of clearance on both the front and rear towers, and was about 30 seconds of filing, VERY tiny amount of material removed (see pic 1, highlighted in yellow)

The second change was that the hingepin holes in the IGT front tower didn't line up quite right with the Jammin upper hingepin holder. I just decided to get rid of the front upper arms and hingepins altogether, and use a turnbuckle setup instead. Already had the parts in my spares bin. (see pic 2)

So now the towers are all set, and seem just about perfect for the Revo shocks with all mounting holes usable for plenty of adjustment. And the body mounts can be placed on the stock IGT tower locations rather than me guessing with the modded X2 towers, so I know the bodies will go on right. I'm going to run the plastic towers for now, but I'll definitely be saving up for a set of CF IGT towers.
