Those are UE shocktowers?

Turning the stand offs does not make a difference, Either the bolts are to short or the standoffs are to long. These are FLM towers, And I don't know what kind of CVD's they are they came with the truck.

Yea, i thought those were FLM, maybe you should consider getting new cvds?

Take the "lock" nuts off the pillow balls and turn them in further. You can use locktite to hold the pillow balls in postion. This will bring the cvds in closer and your problem will be solved(if it is indeed a problem at all).

I have the same setup as you dooley (flm arms, 1/8 hybrid bulks) i have the integy knuckles (dont know which ones u have?). I use mip cvds and they fit alright, i use supermaxx 8 spider diffs. I think its the flm arms that are wider than stock, i immediately noticed the difference in the width of the truck when i put it together. i used locktight on the pillowballs so they wont come lose, and used locktight on the caps that go in the knuckle after the pillow balls.

those are msr5 shocks? I use 8 msr5 shocks with 80wt oil and springs wound all the way down but i still feel its to soft, might go to 100wt with harder springs.

What brushless are you getting? im probably gonna get a 9xl for the longer run time and run 16 cells.

Oh and i know your problem with the stand offs. Its because you know how your using those little things that you put in the hole at the top of the shock, and the screw/bolt goes through it your not ment to use those with those stand offs. In the pic you've got the stand off backwards. The circle end of the stand off supposed to go into the hole at the top of the shock. Hope this helps

Hope this pic helps explain it

Yeah, that's how they should be mounted... :p

If the cvds are rd logics they will be short. You will need to replace them out. It looks to have the boots on in the first pic you posted. I would guess you have the rd logics cvds and this is your problem with length.

The easiest way to get rid of this problem would be to just get new cvds.

yeah cause you can get a full set of mip cvds off ebay for $34 easy

WOW Basketti , I was about to blow a fuse trying to figure that out! THANKS! I have msr4's and the springs are soft. Mike is sending me rebuild kits for them, It looks like I need to e-mail him for some 80 and 100 weight oil and some springs. Hey coolhand can I buy titanium bogbones that are a little longer for the back? If you would measure yours I can order the right length?? I will be back in a few with the correct standoff's.

I have the ue 6mm cvds in mine from mike. I run the integy knuckles and rpm arms. with the flm hybird bulks ofna diffs. as far as dog bone for center i run the 70 mm ue from mike they fit great. stock chassis. Just let me know how I can help you.

coolhand, i thought you had integy type 3?

-corey

I have the ue cvds with integy type 3 racer suspension

i think this is why its confusing
