That truck is pretty! What body are you running?
How is that wing mounted?
And I think your front bumper is on upside down...

Sorry for the questions and critique...
i started out with the stock lid, but i have a custom 8ight-t body that a friend is painting that i wanna try.

the rear wing is an XTM mount with an ofna high flow wing i think. it's bolted right into the rear bumper. the other G4 has an ofna mount that's bolted into the rpm rear bumper. i never had to drill any holes...they just screw right into the pre-drilled ones.

yeah, the suspension was a huge issue, and something i play around with constantly. i started out with the stock shock setup, but it was too soft and i got a ton of body roll. i then tried the trinity x-tra heavy black springs, but went to the dual rate springs as it tended to bottom out on huge jumps. i'm happy with it now, but might play around with the ofna shocks you included. they are HUGE.

i hadn't really thought of the powerstrokes. proline makes them?

my bumper might be upside down? really? dang...i never saw that.

EDIT: i've also upgraded the stock drive shafts to the traxxas cvds. i like them alot.
