Well there are several things you can do. Like move to a 4-link setup. Run your links parrellal to each other. Also you can run triangulated lowers these I found also improves on TT. Later on you can play with some squat and anti-squat too. Many things.

You should check out CDW's double triangulation delrin skid plate and the TCS 4 link boomerang.

Here's the skid:

Scorpion King is correct start off with a TCS plate to go with 4-link first then move on etc.

there is a great thread about suspension and anti squat. I think that is a fix to TT not just a bandaid to it like fixing the rear side only type of thing.

4RnrRick had a great thread regarding tbat issue, but none of the pics are on there anymore. I think it was titled "standard issue green/black bug" or something to that effect. talked about anti squat and all that good stuff. I used to reference thatthread alot but with out the pics it's hard to grasp some of his concepts. Luckily I got enough out of it proir to the pics being deleted.

looks in the axial tips and tricks the mirrored transmission trick helped my truck alot move your lower links to the inside of the chassis and move them in at the axle also

The skid is now carried by RPP hobby. I used the TCS 4 link boomerang and had great results with it. You can also limit your shocks internally this will bring down your ground clearance and aid in removing torque twist.

I know what thread you are talking about, but I found 4RnrRick's much more helpful. He had a ton of photos t o show what he did to eliminate torque twist as well as going over anti squat and such in pretty good detail. Alot of people commented on how such an unassuming thread could be so helpful and many wanted it to be stickied.

Alos to increase anti squat in the rear, the basic theory s to minimize the distance vertically between the uppers and lowers on the chassis side and increase the distance vertically between the uppers and lowers on the acle side.

Can you explain what you mean? How is asymmetrical achieved?
