Not sure why you would want more ground clearance but you can put longer shocks on it. I was playing around with my setup and put the tmaxx shocks on the front and it lifted it an inch or so. You could drill custom holes in your tower. You can also put a few washers in between the steering linkage and the turnbuckles otherwise the turnbuckles won't allow your wheels to drop down very far. In the end your going to flip your rustler quite a bit if you raise the front up. This thing needs to be lower if anything.
