The leaf springs, please.

Actually thats not that uncommon. Alot of cheap builds just use leaf's rather then going with shocks.

That's my point.

Is that it's fitting with the whole shitty build, rofl.

so just a miscommunication. no probs. but yeah, swapping and building are two different things to me. I can always just swap something which would take less than a week... builds take months unfortunately

when i think of building a car, its the chassis as a whole. suspension, engine, drivetrain, etc, thus a swap falling under building, making the car better as a whole. now with the engine in mind, yeah, totally not building.

and FTR, as i've said before, 2.2t block with 2.5 dohc heads ftw.

..Its a toy so why not,an ofc clearance those axles are big an i run big tires to help with clearance so i needed a big lift to clear the tires i'm runing without riping my fenders off,I'm actuly on the shorter side at the races compared to all the other trucks i built mine for alll over fun to hold it down on the strips anl to hold it down on the trails an so far it has done good with everything ive put in its way
