Status: offline 		I was just curious if it was possible to get more suspension travel out of a 3.3 tmaxx without having to become a crawler? I do a lot of bashing and mostly offroad driving and would like some more travel so that I can get some more power to the ground in some of those awkward places. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can do that and not have to worry about badly bottoming out over thos high speed jumps? I was thinking about putting big bore shocks on it to help with the dampening and using 60 wieght oil with dark blue and black springs so my truck wouldn't bottom out all the time but I don't think they would help with overall travel.

Status: offline 		the truck is actually designed to bottom out or chassis slap over jumps.....It spreads the impact over the entire chassis instead of all on the shocks. If you go too stiff you will start breaking shock ends and bending shafts,,,,If you are still using the stock shocks the tops will blow right off with a big jump if they are too stiff(ie:when using heavy weight shock oil
