My savage 25 has a wasp 28, spider mods,werks racing clutch, all alluminum,monster stearing servo,basically loaded down.
however i break my integy shocks like small twigs constantly.
i seen a post awhile back where someone had mounted lst shocks with brackets they had made.
question are you out there?
and will you sell me some brackets for the lst shocks to fit this beast?
 
i've also seen them mounted on stock towers. but u will need to cross the rear tie rods to gain space.
 
I made a bracket work for LSTs. Its simple but you have to find a new hole for the bottom shock mount so you can clear stock offset rims.

I am now about to mount my LST shocks with a bracket made of the 36 layer quassi fiber machined by Vertigo.

The Kudos bracket is well designed. It allows you to bolt on and bash any rim tire offset. Its really nice. I even belive that the bracket that moves the links is for the stock length (stock savage).

savage rocks kudos set up.

Then you can always run novas. You will have to drill new holes to clear stock off set rims. You will absolutly need stiffer springs with this set up. The angle of the shock is much greater with these towers.

wannarunem has these on his savage.. not sure where he got the brackets though .. pm him and ask.. i think they were from someone on another forum..
 
wow skip thats a really trick setup. i have thought about doing this but havent really had too much trouble with the stockers. though that is some serious eye candy as well as being beefy. maybe in the future.

yeah i got mine from kudos....great guy...excellent product!!!!!!
 
Yea the kudos kit is extremely well designed. It is a bolt on and bash kit.

The braket I made is simple and effective. There is modifications needed though and still without an adjustable Aarm the LST shocks will not clear standard offset rims. I cured that by drilling new holes in my Aarms and now (just for looks) I will be running fast lane adjustable bottom Aarms.

I belive that the stock shocks are the toughest set up out there. The difference in the trucks handling between the stock shocks and the LST shocks is quite apparent. The LST shocks offer the smoothest ride out there.. I was able to go through very rough terrain without the truck bouncing all over the place. The stock shock arent all that supple IMO. I belive that for BIG airs the stock shocks are awsome, but if your more of a basher without the huge airs your will benifit the most from the LSTs.
