Default Re: lowering your stock tamiya suspension?

You might try adding F350 spring leaves, TamiyaUSA has them in various lengths 4 to a package for about $6 pkg. depending on length ordered.

Sorry Nick I posted this in the wrong thread, but I was thinking about your issue. I guess I would mount the suspension higher on the frame which would actually lower the over all stance.

the center pivot plate is almost at the top of the rails.

That is true bigford but the suspension plate is very easy to modify to lower it and if you remove spring leaves you won't be able to carry much of any weight at all.
