I like it a lot, it made a huge difference in the way the truck climbs. Unfortunately I bent it a little bit this evening, you can see when I did it at the end of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5atHRYdxkz8 This one is somewhere just shy of 60* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhgcqZhn_hM |

 Move your left rear upper link to the top of the plate. I know I say it alot, but it really works to kill the TT. You may have to shim the link to adjust its lenth to keep the axle centered. | |

That's a big fall off the bridge. Were you able to bend it back?

You might also want to try and get those front uppers a little more parallel to the ground. | |
