Bending the shocks

[Stealth Attack]

Ok I see a bunch of threads on here about buying upgraded shocks but since the accident money has been tight. So does anyone have any ideas on how to make the stock shocks just a little stronger or help prevent them form bending on landing a jump. Any ideas would be a great help!

what weight of oil do you use, might wanna try some lighter weight oil

I run 40 weight seems to hold up great, I also run the stock shocks

It was all stock until now. I drained the oil and I'm going to find something better to use.

I was going to try taking a thin piece of 1/8" aluminum and drilling holes for the shafts. Put one on top of the shafts next to the body and one at the bottom near the eye. Kind of hard to explain I guess. The piece shaped like a dogbone. Both shafts pass through at the ends of it. You have to secure them somhow though. That I have not figured yet except for using rubber bands.
