Default stiffest silver springs

I just installed the integy MSR5 shocks, but the springs on it cant bring the truck back up after a jump, mainly cause they are too soft. Im looking for some really stiff, silver/chrome springs. Thanks

www.fullforcerc.com they make a set of triple rate springs for 15 dollars, soft in the beginning for absorbing bumps and very stiff toward the end to absorb huge impacts.. i have a set and i love em

Thanks for the reply! With these springs, when you push down on the truck, do the springs return it to its normal height?

Unless you run on really soft dirt all the time stiff springs can be a pain & you'll bounce all over the place. When I added spacers to my stock springs it allowed them to bring my truck back most of the way up but I ended up on my lid or just two wheels whenever I tried to corner. If you want a truck that handles well the tires need to be able to drop down from their normal position.

Hey thanks. Yes I realized that, but the ones on my Savage right now are rediculous. When the truck goes down, it stays all the way down, doesnt even come up slightly. After dropping the truck just to test the shocks, it went flat on the floor. That is not very good, so I need to make that a little bit better.

Also, I really want to be sure that they will fit the Integy MSR5 Shocks, othewise it would be useless.
