Ok I have a brand new assembled T4. I want to run Dirt Oval. What do I need to do to get it into dirt oval shape? Including lowering it (have no idea how to lower a truck) tires, shocks and even a body that will fit the T4. Any info will help me, as I am starting from scratch....thanks I cant wait! :thumbsup:

to lower your pistons on your shocks you can take them apart and put a peice of fish tank air tubing in the about a 1/4 ince or so and then put it back together andthat will lower them down for you..

The tubing idea is good and u can also use associated shock spacers...U want the arms to end up with just a little angle down , try 20 w shock oil, green springs, all 4 green tires , 0 camber on the left and 2 neg on the right side...one batt spacer in back and 2 in front...this should give u a good starting point, go with the truck neutral then adjust the shocks as u go ..if your real loose put some tension on the rf or lr...........good luck

Speed racing products and factory works make lowering shock towers for the T4.

for an oval body you can use the mcallister bodies (link at the right), factory works( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2565&item=5982164642&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW (http://www.qksrv.net/click-1606754-5463217?loc=http%3A//cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D5982164642) ).
