Default GMADE Stealth Truck Idea.

Could one drill holes where the red dots are in the picture below and move the shocks so it would look more like a real monster truck's suspension (straight up and down)?
would it mess with the 4 link bars or anything like that?

Picture of my idea:

Thanks, Tim

I don't see any problem with that but just make sure that the suspension is able to twist or you'll have a problem

It should not affect the 4 link any. It will hurt its crawling performance though. If you are not going to crawl, but bash with it then it is fine! Go for it and tell us the results!

If you use the standoffs where marked you should be fine, but make sure you check for any binding of the driveshafts and suspension during shock travel and articulation before you run it.

Ya i was looking to go for more of a basher instead of crawling. I was looking at the Dragoon but I really like the look of the stealth. and its a little cheaper witch is a big + for me haha.
Thanks for the help guys!
