You added a lot of weight to your front axle, and it is now doing worse on steep climbs? No trouble on steep descents ?

maybe change out some of that brass for aluminum untill you are happy with it
your just looking for a forward weight bias and that dosent take that much extra weight
so unless your compinsating for a high center of gravity loose some weight
