You can't buy them complete. You have to get ones that were taken off a truck. They are one of the best mods that I have done so far.

My hobbie store has all the pieces you need to make them andit adds up pretty quick so I think I will find some one who is parting out there LST.

I was just looking around and I am going to have to buy some lower mounting brackets like kudos has. They are needed with non-offset wheels.

Ok, well in order to run stock size tires and wheels you need to put the shocks up a little on the a-arm. I even put a nut on the other side of the a-arm for extra strength. Here is a pic of before and a couple after.

Stock holes

Raised holes

This is the steering at full lock.

And the truck still have as much or more travel than stock.

hi where do you get that mount, i like your stuff. give me more hint

I got the upper mount from twisted-toys. It is carbon fiber and is the tuffest material I have seen. It the stuff vertigo uses.

I think that you might need stiffer shocks if your going to do any sereous jumping but that's about it. All you need is the uppermount and I used some large collets for bottom spacer. (The collets are the linkage things that have little screws so you can stop them on the shaft but they are bigger ones.)

Twisted Toys shock mounts using our 36 layer CF material.

It is really strong stuff. And much ligher than aluminum.

With the shocks straight up and down does it mees with the geometry of the suspension? It seems to me it would act like a pogo stick.

On the LST the shocks are almost verticle which provides a linear spring rate.

So with these shock tower brackets, we're trying to mimic the angle of the shocks like it is on the LST.

If you try to mount the shocks like a Savage shock in the stock holes the springs are waaay to soft to support the truck, and the spring rate then has become progressive.
