Thank You George, and Zack for your help, I appreciate it. I went ahead and ordered the Tower kit and the UE Spring kit as well. Then hit up Ebay for some Ofna Rear LX shocks.

I guess I'll need some other standoff for my RC8 Shocks.

I have a Question though, I am planning on running 4 Ofna Rear shocks and 4 RC8 Front shocks; 1 of ea. per corner. I am was looking powerstrokes and had an idea of running the stiffer UE springs on the ofna shocks and using the RC8 shocks as "Bypass" type with oil but no spring. Of course unless I need the extra sping load. Is this viable Or should I stick with the softer springs on the Ofna's and keep the really Soft springs I have for the RC8's. I bash not race.

HEY OP, Sorry but I have been on the Fence for UE Towers for a while now...

PS. How many times have you been wondering if you should get something for your ride and then someone on this site posts something that makes you HAVE to have it. LOL

The bypass shocks aren't just a shock with no spring. I'd go with the Powerstrokes over any other shock. In my opinion, there the best available for the Maxx trucks.

Also, I had a few sets of the UE towers, and I never really cared for them...Not worth the low price (surprising to say that about a UE product) honestly...I'm more of a fan of the FLM towers, by far, but over anything, I think I'd go with the UE towered VBS, which negates the need for any.
