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.

I got extra ground clearance on my Rustler by putting Proline Mashers all around. These really help for running in grass where the truck would normally get help up.

Guess I didn't think about having to raise it for such reasons. I have a tmaxx for that stuff. Good luck!

This doesnt really make the truck ride higher but it takes out some sag. I run 2 springs on each shock.
