Does anyone know where I can get these parts for my Traxxas Jato?

I agree

Does your Jato have all the shock springs set to the highest level? Does that help with jumps? Or would lower be better for jumps?

That was right after I built it, so no tuning had been done yet.

What do you mean built it? Just wonderinmg are the shocks themselves aluminum on a BL2s? I don't think I asked that yet... And would it be better off small to medium sized jumps with the shock springs up or down?

I built that one from parts, the shocks are Losi, from a Lasernut.

Your ride height and rebound with battery in place will help you decide where you set your springs for track testing, then you'll make adjustments based on how it drives and lands.

There are lots of videos on line to help understand suspension tuning.

I won't be racing I am just going to make a small straight ramp. Not one of those ramps that curve and send it 10 feet in the air. Would lower or higher shock settings be better for that kind of jumping?

It doesn’t really matter much. You’re going to be chassis slapping anyways but for you I’d say to jack the ride hight up as much as possible

So Dialed is one of my favorite places to go to refresh/research/learn about tuning a RC vehicle. It has some great stuff that will engulf you for hours on your journey.

Thank you for the links buddy!

Are these the right shocks for my Jato BL2s?

And do I just use the original shock springs with these?

The first set (XX Long) is for the Jato 4x4, it uses the same length shocks front and rear.

If you click on 'Application Guide' at the bottom of each link you'll see what Traxxas intends them for.

You could save some money at Jenny's RC for a complete set including springs

Should I buy the Jato shocks from Jenny's RC while they're still on sale?

 

[9x19]

I'll answer here instead of just to your PM.

Jenny's is legit, I've ordered many, many times and never been disappointed.

They are new parts and not counterfeit, Jenny's buys new models and dis-assembles them to sell the parts, still cheaper than buying the same parts from the manufacturer.

Those shocks are not 'on sale', that's their everyday price.
