RE: 2 quick ones
because the stock oil is naff in thr RTR, would help a little if u changed to 30 - 35w also the black springs make it ride higher, as the green are softer

RE: 2 quick ones
try adding more spacers to the top of the shocks that will also help to increase ride height, keepin the truck lower also has advantages tho, ie turnin better

You might see if the shocks need a little more oil. If they're not full, they'll sag like that. However you don't want them so full that the shock can't compress. Fill them to the point that the oil makes about a .5mm to 1mm bump, then cap em off. If it is sagging cause of low oil, cramming spacers in there will keep the shock from acting like a shock and the ride will be very bouncy.

Oil wont effect ride height. Oil provides damping for the shock only. your truck should "sag" a bit from the weight of the truck for maximum efficiency.
Colindecon, when you lift the truck up how much do the wheels drop?

It shouldn't sag as much as his pics show. If there is any air in the shock the truck will sag. Making sure the shocks are full of oil will prevent it from sitting so low.
