no, the front shocks are not going to be too short, on the contrary: for several shock towers the rear shocks are going to be too long.
I would start with the recommended oil as well, and as far as I know you get the heavier oil in the front shocks and the lighter oil in the back shocks.

okey. 70wt front and 60 in the rear?
but i have the harder spring in the rear?rookie....
if i dont find harder springs is it possible to use longer springs?i will by a set of fron/rear spring and will use the front spring, but if they are to soft in the rear i maybe can use the rear springs in the rear....
will it be more firm if the are longer?

only if you use progressive springs, if you use normal springs it won't work

i reallt starting to like the UE shocks, but i cant find them anywhere...

if billytruck dont have 4 shocks i really must by the ofna shocks. but the ofna hard springs seem to be to soft.
i find "Associated Shock Springs Extra Firm Copper MGT" looks good
"...Supports 6.90 pounds of pressure." is that hard enough?

don't get this the wrong way, but how often do we have to repeat: the UE supershocks are the same as the ofna shocks which are identical to the jamara shocks I posted a link to a few posts ago

in that case, you didn't even look for other springs:
took me like 2 minutes to find
and now go and find the hardest springs you can find in the store...

Yes, I have tried them,Understand a mt is quite a bit heavier than a buggy or truggy. They will work but not like UE ss springs.
