What are you guys that still run blackfoots or monsterbeetles running for shocks? Like what length should I be looking for? I'd love to find a set of the origonal yellow ones if anyone spots a set for sale or has a set shoot me a pm.

ok i guess, the problem is the truck itself. it seems no matter what i do i can't get it to be plush. it just bounces all the time.
the suspension is very limited on these things.

Youre right there. I do remember years ago that the old yellow cva shocks were the ones that worked best for me. Still handled like a turd though.....

Its the front end that makes them bounce. The rear you can fine tune.
