Posting pics to show the difference between my lifted custom body Nero and my daughter's new out of the box Nero. On my Nero, I swapped out the stock shocks with the big rock shocks for the slightly longer shock rods and he rod ends. I used hobao spring cups carefully bored to fit the larger diameter big rock hd shock rod ends, 75mm springs in front and 68mm Blue HR springs in rear. I used HR rockers all around to help further reduce spring cup/rocker collision. I trimmed all skidplates around the lower arms to further increase travel and height. To help compensate for lost center of gravity, I added the HR 5mm hub extenders. I also swapped out the stock wheels and tires for Axial beadlocks with mudslinger tires; this also added another good 1/2" of clearance. This setup makes it the perfect beach basher. The excellent grip from the tires combined with the height let's it really dig in and grab the soft Florida sands.
Now just gotta gear down some from the 15t to a 13t or 12t to lighten the strain and an engine fan to lessen the Florida heat. Now to set the kid's up for speed.
