upgraded front shocks

[Doggy]

Why nobody use real shocks with oil, and let the springs take the load you want? I am just looking into materials to use for leaf springs to have flex and adjust the thickness of the leaf to decide how much load you want to carry. Easier way is if you use airbag dummy springs.
I will make some examples when I come to that on my custom truck build, as I want to replicat exact 1:1 system.

If your using stock Tamiya suspension you can go to Tamiya USA and order spring leaves to add to your springs they have 4 different lengths. It works a lot better than trying carry the weight on shocks. Use the following link and look at the first 5 items on the parts list.

This is the best picture I have albeit a rear set I did the same with the front. If you are hauling the weight this will take care of the squat and will still allow the suspension to flex. I believe I added 4 leaves per spring assembly.
