I know from first hand that these Racer X series shocks from UE work great without any modifications. Get some towers for ex. from Nova racing doesn't have to be from them and you have what your asking. I heard of this idea a couple yrs back from other members. Haven't looked back. I run 4 shock setup. Truck is in the gallery.

Oh, I really think this is where truggies caught on before tuggies where what they are today. From Monster trucks that a few conjured up and did something like this.
Forgot to mention if you are running the extended TVPs you can add 4 shocks in the rear as well as the front. The only draw back to not having the ext. tvp's. 4 shocks vs 8 shocks are much lighter in weight and give a better COG not to mention it grabs tighter and less roll going around a corner. Great for a track setup.

the 4 shock lst setup is pretty nice but i find it to be overkill....something like the UE setup would work great like ]-[0pa]0ng recommends....

yes they fit and, no there not overkill.
Yes you can make them fit, but you will need LST shock conversion kit. Here are some pics of a few of my LST shock converted trucks.
These 2 pics show the upper and lower mounts needed for stock a-arms.
This picture show the muggy/aftershock (same as LST just plastic) shocks with the upper brackets and using FLM a-arms
The conversion kit I used came from http://www.innovative-rc.co.uk/ Hope that was of some help.
