You can also use a lighter viscosity oil, i.e. I use to 42.5 in the front and 37.5 in the rear with the standard shocks. I'm now using 32.5 in the front and 30 in the rear (Associated Shock Oil). This helps the car react better (smoother) on the bumpy stuff, but because of the larger volume of oil in the shocks, it doesn't bottom out on the jumps.
Tip for the gears and diffs. Don't use ceramic grease on the gears. Because of the bevel it ends up in the diff and contaminates the ball diff grease. Just use ball diff grease on the gears. This prevents contamination. Your diffs will last a lot longer!
