Looking for shocks.

Because then I wouldn't have the suspension travel anymore. IIRC, there is 45mm of travel, and if I use a 25mm spacer, travel would be reduced to 20mm.

I was really gonna go this route, but I heard something about weak shafts. IIRC, there are Ti replacements, but wasn't sure if they were different lengths. Can you get Muggy shocks with aluminum shock bodies and Ti shafts pre-done, or do you have to buy the shocks and upgrades? I looked but didn't find anything. And I don't know what cross-fits between the Muggy/LST/Aftershock.

Those would be perfect for length/travel, but I want bigger bore.

Someone had a nice set of aluminum LST2 shocks on ebay (4 for $50), but when I found out there were 165mm long, I couldn't use them.

Robert from InnovativeRc told me he was going to make Muggy shafts for his shocks (he makes aluminium LST shocks for the savage). Maybe that'll be something for you. Won't be the cheap route though.
Also center to center the LST2 shocks are 150mm max and not 165mm center to center.

Well, that makes a big difference! I asked the guy selling them to measure and said hole to hole, but he must have measured end to end. I hope he still has them; they're 4 brand new Al LST2 shocks for $50...

Are you guys sure the lst shocks are all the same size ? or maybe the rear muggys are longer, I bought some lst2 tini shafts and they fit on 1 pair but not the other. I could be wrong, They are in the garage and its way too butt cold to go there, but they fit on something muggy, of course you would need to buy 4 pairs then. ( I should research before I post but I am far too lazy)
