Question extention KITS

I really want to stretch my truck as soon as I get it so does any1 have an exact list of what parts i need to stretch the tlt1?

I dont want to have to make anything my self i just want to go onto tower and order it.

unless any one is selling their own extention kits on like ebay or something?

Sorry for a dumb questions. The more I get into this, the more I just don't know.

Do the parts bolt right up to the stock chassis?

About how much center height do you gain with just this kit (with stock tires and wheels)? 2.2's are in the near future, just curious how much more you gain going from stock form to this.

link kit

I'n not sure how much center hieght with the stock rims. I put 2.2s on mine as soon as I built it. It is made for the stock chassis.
I am putting to finishing touches on a kit that is for sale right now. I'm try to get some measurements for you.

follow the tutorial here...
http://www.ripper7racing.com/Magazine/aug04/tlt_1.htm/

the links parts number doesnt match i think, just get the 78 mm traxxas links
everything needed for that stretch can be found for cheap on tower, and probably in your LHS

after doing that exact stretch, i got around a 9.5 inch wheelbase and around 3 inches center chassis clearance
