I wouldn't bother with non-oil stuff. The damper oil is very handy in crawler shocks to give them resistance to keep the wheels on the rocks without compromising the flexibility of soft springs.

I used Losi Crawler shocks on my Axial, Make sure you have some metric ball joints handy for the bottoms and fuel tube for the tops. I competition crawled an Axial with the SWX chassis and Losi shocks and they are just the ticket.

Traxxas big-bore 100mm shocks also work well with the right (i.e. soft) springs on.

Dunno how they would work on a WK, I never tried them on mine. By the time I was up to that level I'd moved to an Axial rig.

Ive had some of there dual spring shocks and there a pain in the butt to even get mounted, And once on i was disappointed with how stiff they were. I went down to 32.5 shock oil and under half full(started full and went down trying to get them softer) and they were still way to stiff. So for everything it was worth I ended up putting the old stock shocks back on lol. I had no luck with there shocks, It was either to stiff or too bouncy, i got tired of trying after 2 months and just gave up on them.
