Default high lift upgrades

I am not sure if this is the right section but high lift shows up the most in rock crawlers. Which companies offer high lift upgrades? And what parts are the most important to upgrade.

Usually the first thing to get modified is the suspension. Many guy replace the leaf spring suspension with a four-link coil-over suspension.

I kind of like the leaf springs. They do limit the suspension a lot but I saw some shackles that almost double there articulation. I think they were from junfac.

All 1.9 tires will fit the stock HL wheels, 2.2 wheels and tires will also fit and give you a bit more of a "monster" look.

Thanks for the links The truck came with these wheels from rc4wd.



I would like to get a set of mud slingers and mud thrasers for it. Also do any of you know of a oil filled shock that will work.

Tamiya's gold aluminum shocks for the Juggernaut fit without the coil springs that come with them. You'd need a lift if you want to use the coils as well.

This is to show you what they look like. You can get these on e-bay(or just about anywhere else) for a fraction of the cost that tower lists them for.

Thanks. I shouldn't need any coils unless I go to a 4 link. Any idea how long those shocks are?
