What shock cups and other suspension upgrades are you finding to work best?

What is the part number for the Team Durango metal shock caps? I have been looking for a metal shock cap, but had not yet found anything. Thank you in advance.I rebuilt my Nero shocks into basically red versions of the Big Rock HD shocks and they work well. I bought the longer shock shafts, Arrma was out of stock at the time so I went with Team Durango but same exact part. Added the Hobao ends and cups, went with Team Durango springs (75 length) and mounted them as recommended on the site to an inner hole. Also waiting for another run from GKA of the rocker mounts so I can get a couple sets for my trucks. Need those to finish off the suspension but love the shock setup. Oh forgot to add I swapped the shock caps for metal Team Durango caps with bleed valves.

Quick edit/note to add to my post about the parts I used. I just realized that since I built my trucks from parts to include the shock, I am not 100% sure that the ARRMA shock body part number works with the Team Durango Shock Cap. I built mine with the Team Durango Shock Bodies and Shock Caps plus the other TD parts mentioned above mixed with the ARRMA HD parts. It looks and measures out the same as the Big Rock shocks and and Red ones are ARRMAs that I extended using TD parts. I don't actually have ARRMA shock bodies anymore so don't want to say that the caos are a definite now that I remembered what bodies I bought. I will take apart when I get a chance and try to confirm for wveryone
What weight shock oil would you suggest for a nero I jump with?Also just to share some more info for anyone who wants it. I did a bunch of research before I went and ordered parts for my shocks. Basically the TD Big Bore 16mm shocks have a lot of swapable parts that you can use with the Nero ,Fazon or Big Rock. One of the catches is of course the the vehicles are different so you need to know if you are setting out to just upgrade stock dimensions like the Nero shocks which have shorted parts or are trying to get extra length like the Big Rock. I took the opportunity to build everything around the Big Rock dimensions as my guide. If it was the Nero shaft before, I replaced it with the TD shaft for the DESC10 rear shock giving me the dimensions of a Big Rock. Same with the boots. The caps are great like I said and you get choices for soft or medium diaphrams, different o rings, compression foam for the top of the bleeder caps, ets. Now the other thing to mention is the DEX8, DNX8 and DEX8T all have 16mm shock parts that will work as well but you need to be careful and watch the length. You don't want to get a really short stroke part for the front shock for the Buggy and put it on a Big Rock unless you are trying g to lower it. Of Course you could rebuild the shocks into DEX8T rears and have something even bigger than what comes with the Big Rock which would allow for more adjustment.
Do you happen to know the part number for the hoboa ends?I rebuilt my Nero shocks into basically red versions of the Big Rock HD shocks and they work well.
