RE: Looking for Wraith shock upgrade recommendations
Here are some pics taken yesterday of my Wraith aka "Bushwhacker" along the Clackamas River past Estacada, OR. It sits pretty high, these shocks came with 3 sets of springs. The stiffest ones makes it sit up really high. It easily tips over taking a corner fast but like I said I mainly crawl and do trail runs. I've got weights in the wheels and the COG is pretty low. I originally had the Integy shocks mounted normally, but I read somewhere that if you invert them they don't leak as bad. They leaked a little at first but haven't had much of a problem lately. Used some green slime and inverted them. I looked at the Pro-line shocks and liked them alot. But got the Integy's as they were $60 for 4, which that would only get 2 of the PLs.
My son's Wraith has stock shocks and I lowered it, it sits a few inches shorter than mine but still slithers over rocks and stuff. But it works great for his driving style. When we get into some serious rock crawling my Wraith is usually the only one getting through because of the ground clearance.
