Status: offline 		I put the LST shocks on like a year ago, although they never fit right and the truck never articulated right. The wheelbase was also too short as a result.

Enter lower shock extensions made from old Savage TVPs! They are relatively simple, the only challenge is that I had to make 8 of the extensions. For those that have seen the truck before, it is lower and the wheelbase is longer as a result. This is probably my favorite setup for the years I have owned this truck. Maxx driveshafts are MUCH happier too with less severe axle angles. I now need limiting straps though, there is too much down travel. Maybe I will use shoelaces?
