looking for opinions on LST shocks

[doo540]

Ok guys
I just purchased my first LST2. It has aftermarket Intergy shocks on it with the piggybacks. Are the stock LST2 shocks not worth using? I've always liked the way the stock lst shocks were super huge. I'm thinking of buying some stock lst shocks for this truck. This is a basher truck and will be taking some big air landings hopefully rubber side down. So let me know if the stock lst shocks will work and if so what should I do to them to make them great. I'm assuming I would at least need the blue body ones that are aluminum. I have also seen ads for "harden" shock bodies. Are those worth the money?
