CKRC claims if you move the limiters internal on the shocks that will help. I did that on my stock shocks and it did help but I did a few other things at the same time so I don't know how much it helped. Also, when I lowered mine it seemed to help alot.

here are some ways to lessen it

1. Limiters (but articulation will be bad, and flex is the key to any crawler)
2. stiffer shocks
3. add front/rear weight, wherever the twist is.
4 internal shocks
5. some more oil should kinda help

I've been through all that, but there is a better way. I can make my left front tire lift instead of my right front if I want it to...and its not using any of that listed above...in fact, my rigs have none of that listed above...

If you do a search on torque rwist you'll find just about everything you're looking for, and then some. You'll find there is not one thing that curse this, but a lot of things used together to limit torque twist and allow you to use it to your advantage.

The first step in your quest will likely be going to 4-Link and different shocks.

Yes to the first and yes to the second (but not really). The only reason to replace the shocks is because they are garbage. If it wasn't for that they'd be fine.

i have learned link setup up makes a big difference instead of changing the rr side which masks the issue.
