So fixed the shock last thursday. Nothing too exciting about that. Went against my kids objections and ordered some stock shocks with ally bodies because its not the first time that truck has popped off a shock cap.
So heres the thing. My kids deffinition of stock is 100% as it was. My deffinition of stock is stock power, gear ratios and suspension geometry.
So my stock short course truck. First thing to wear was the nylon spur gear. So i replaced it with the same 54 tooth but the factory upgrade steel one. So still stock. Next was the factory cast clutch assembly shattered. So i replaced it with the factory optional larger billet alloy assembly. Then when it snapped an axle, i replaced all 4 with the factory optional hd plastic ones (didnt see the need to spend big on steel as its stock power). So when the ally shocks arrive they'll go in.
So nothing makes it go any faster, handle any different. Its stock, just less likely to break.
