I guess it is not too bad, since you get 8 of them!!

You sure you want to run 8?! Not just 4?! Not gonna be too stiff?!

It is stiff...thats what i was afraid of. But, i love the look of 8 shocks and I have already bought 8 so.....

I was thinking of some ways to loosen them. Maybe light oil? Soft springs? Cut the springs?

Got any ideas?

save some weight and run 4! I run 4 on my emaxx and it works great. Besides then you can use the other 4 on something else, like a little brother for the clod, a TLT!

LOL, I can afford 4 shocks, no worry.. :D

Ill think about running 4 shocks. What would you do LB?

RE: Super Clod Buster Build-up Thread
 

Me?! I'd run 4 shocks, and use the other 4 on your other projects...

But who knows, maybe if you are building a monster monster Clod.. dual packs, a lot of aluminum, weights a ton, then maybe you will need the 8 shocks!!

Man those shocks are nice!

I'd run four as well, but you really need to run it first and make a decision. It loos pretty cool right now though so tough call.

Makes me want to get another set of clod axels to make a mod stock clod....however you want to call it.
