TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 Alloy Front Adjustable Shock Damper SLA087F by GPM  [SLA087F]

Overview of the front adjustable shock

The SLA087F is an alloy front adjustable spring damper sold as a 1pr set tailored for TRAXXAS SLASH 4X4 platforms. It upgrades stock front shocks with a machined alloy body and alloy ball top and ball ends, and ships with 1.3mm, 1.5mm and 1.7mm springs plus a 4mm shaft for stronger front support.

Practically, it functions as both a tougher mechanical replacement and a tuning aid that lets you alter initial spring rate and preload without changing the main shock body. The ball fittings align with common Slash 4X4 linkage geometry and the spring range helps you tune front balance for a variety of surfaces.

Installation mirrors other threaded-body dampers on short-course trucks: remove the original front shocks, transfer lower caps where needed, insert the 4mm shaft into the lower mount and attach the ball ends to suspension links. Check shaft clearance and full travel before final tightening.

For Slash 4X4 owners seeking a stiffer front end and easy spring-rate changes, this alloy front damper delivers durability and straightforward tuning while matching stock shock mounting points.
