I have a Traxxas Slash with rear big bore shocks and progressive rate springs. The rear end had been sagging a lot, and would bottom out easily. I tried to fix it by filling them up with 37.5 weight oil, but it only helped a little bit. Are there any stiffer springs I can buy?

i use 60wt oil in the back of my slash with the stock shocks and springs and that works pretty good, i would try 50 or 60wt and see how that works

my rear big bores leak like no tomorrow...I've tried re setting them 5 times or so...
fronts are fine, and my stock shocks never leaked after I messed with them...
They leak around the cap, not the bottom
