o.0 You could Try my quick-click shocks

really simple and uses your shocks


all you need is
2 servo arms(single post)
and 2 screws

put the servo arm(geared end) on the stock mount spot
and put the shock on the other end

Tada go from low and soft to High and and med with a simple flip

a bit off topic as it doesnt raise the ground clearance !! but i put some fuel tube around the suspention shafts which makes the suspention bottom out ,before the car hits the floor . this stops my car's chassi etc .from hitting the ground off big jumps !
