Default good bashing springs or shocks?

i got the stock revo springs and shocks set to the tightest settings and i would like them to be stiffer for bashing purposes. i would like to get either blue or yellow ones but the most important thing is that they are stiffer. i don't wanna put thicker oil in cause i have heard of to many ppl breaking or bending them while bashing harder.

^^ same here. But you do need to replace the shock oil even if its not to heavy. Just realize with stiff springs and light oil your truck will feel really.. well.. springy. I've done that before and the handling went down the tubes.. It literally bounced after every jump no matter how small. It put to much stress on the shock bodies nd I'm sure something would have broke if I kept that setup any longer. At LEAST 40 weight will do you good. Thats a good starting point.

yeah u will need to put new oil in it or else it will bounce all over the place. try 60wt for bashing with the LT springs.
