Default Need help please

i need help from the hardcore guys jumping 9 feet plus and bashers. is the trinity pipe worth it? i have a revo and am very happy with the 2.5R(TM323 is on the XMAS list). i could careless about added performance, surely concerned about loss though. what i'm after is durability. i hear alot of ppl breaking the stock one repeatedly. and im all about the one time fix.

here is what im going after in set up.

P2 rockers; installed
gold and orange springs installed should i go heavier?
50 wt oil was thinking of going to 70wt?
shock rod ends of course. what about aluminum shock caps?
and as soon as my a-arms go rpm arms will be installed.
tm323 for xmas?

i'm talking 9+ up in the air not out.(was ment to sound nice not mean) distance jumping is not as hard ont the truck as height. not unless you land sideways.

btw nice body on the truck

aww i will try and get a video of more than fifteen feet in the air, just to show you that these settings are fine, because you dont want to have your truck so hard that it will never bottom out because then you will start having other issues. the revo can take a good belly slap from a good height dont be afraid to beat its a55.

owww by the way i dont take credit for the shell its pre-painted by atomik shells and very thick

yeah thats what i was thinking. i guess some good f/r skids are a good ticket. can careless about the cute tranny skids. i dont plan on rock crawling.

soo you think 70 wt would be too much? i was thinking going with 70 wt and keeping the springs as is, i really dont want too loose out on handling.
