Nice video. Just a remark: limiting shock travel using this method, or by using the downstops that most RC's lower suspension arms have, without cutting the springs to match the shorter travel, will increase the spring preload. What this means is, the shock will not compress until the preload force is exceeded. That means the car will have no suspension whatsoever until it crosses a large enough bump. The suspension will also have no droop, as the shock is already fully extended at neutral ride height.

You could also use some rubber O-rings and stack them up to get the same results.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this video. Step by step is absolutely perfect. I was able to lower my Rustler perfectly after watching this video. One tip I would give is to pay attention to your shocks in way of if the rear are longer than the front. In my case the rear were longer so my spaced to go inside the rear shock was longer than the front shock. Other than that this video was a HUGE help. Thanks!!!

old video I know, but just sitting here watching and thinking. You could put that mark where you want your ride height to be, then take the shock off. Extend it all the way and make a 2nd mark at the bottom of the shock body. then that is going to be how big your tube spacer will need to be. I would think that would work, just a 10 second 1st thought. Love the videos, by the way, great job

Nice Vid Jason, and very good to refer. I did the exact same when I lowered my Rusty, except the part where u keep clipping away at the poly tube. All one has to do is take the measurements on the shaft of where the top is now, and where your desired line is, and that gives you the amount you need to subtract from the shaft, so total length. That way they don't have to go clipping away, and gives an exact measurement.

Yes, this solution is super for limit size of shocks and bottom of the truck can not go higher, but if you want to limit ground distance, you just can place silicon tube outside on the shock shaft. Then shock will not go bellow "user set" limit and bottom of the truck is not scratching the road. Is possible to make both of this solution together and limit up and also down limit with the same silicon tube :-) Yes, there are more solutions with super tough spring or different length of the shocks, but i like this simple silicon way.

Another tip: in order for your shock shaft not to be scratch by pliers.. you can remove first the shock oil and then use a screwdriver to hold the shaft then you can turn the rod end without using pliers. the shaft itself is a screw with a large part without the thread.

If you do not cut the springs the ride will be a little harder then the stock length as the spring length is set for a certain length of shaft. If you want the same soft ride then measure your spring compress with full length shock then with the shortened shaft and cuf the coil out accordingly

Running stock class you are not allowed to change your shocks or springs, however you can shim your shocks and cut your springs to specs listed in the rules to remain legal. So what is shown in the video is correct. shocks work exactly as they should.
