Your better off just runnin 4 shocks total. The two up front will go on the "front side" of the A-arms and the rears will go on the 'rear side" of the A-arms. I ended up switching the screws out that you use to attach them to the lower A-arm for a 3mm machine screw. I used a long enough screw to add a locknut between the shock rod end and the shock mount on the arm. I believe it was a 3x20mm cap head screw. Not 100% sure on the length though. Look into that and see if you like the set-up or not.

What shock oil are you using? They recommend nothing higher than 20. I run 15. As mentioned you can run just 4 easily.

I moved the spacer to the other side in the front to help the rubbing. A 200oz servo helps too. 🙂

I bend mine slightly sometimes, but they pop right back easily. I land mine pretty hard, you just have to make sure you avoid the 1 wheel landings.. as with any shock really.

I run 4 on mine.
20w oil.
I did a custom "valving" job by using the 3 hole pistons and slighty enlarging the holes. I have done massive bash sessions and never bent a shaft.

For an example of what they have taken, watch this:
