Trucks T maxx suspension

[3carmark]

Doing a spring cleaning of my t maxx 2.5r and looking to upgrade the suspension maybe piggyback shocks? Looking for suggestions have a limited budget but willing to pay for quality some jumps but mostly just bashing around

Honestly if you are just bashing around, red springs on all 8 with 2 hole pistons and 40 weight oil will be just fine. If you watch my shock rebuild, I did put 3 hole up front with 40w and 2 hole in the rear with 40w due to the rear being heavier. I have yet to test this as life got in the way, but in theory, it will work better for jumps.
