My setup for street or hard pack handling, that can still take the jumps when needed is this:
Rear:
Big bore xxl shocks with 40wt oil and Losi E/T Maxx Lowering Blue springs (Heavy). I moved the lower shock end to the outer most mounting hole.
Front:
Big bore xl shocks with 40wt oil and Losi E/T Maxx Lowering Black springs (Extra Heavy). I moved the lower shock end to the outer most mounting hole. This keeps the rear planted, i.e. more traction.
Tires:
I prefer the stance of HPI Geolanders mounted on the Pro-line beadlocks for the slash.
Running Castle Mamba Max w/5700KV motor
Batteries:
2 - 8000 mAh 2 cell li-po's
2 - 3800 mAh 3 cell li-po's (these cause the tires and foams to consistantly peel off the beadlocks and pass the vehicle at speed)
Gearing:
12t pinion
90t spur
diff putty
The stance of the truck just looks mean, and it handles pretty well, although with good traction it will still flip backwards if I give it full throttle.
