Default Internal springs in stock shocks

I was wondering if anyone here is running internal spring set ups in there shocks. Need some help on reducing torque twist and finding the right springs for the wraith. Thanks!

If your building a crawler, put underdrive gears in the rear or overdrive gears in the front. I did that and see very little torque twist.

im running cut(i believe i cut 3 wraps from the top off the stock springs) springs and internal springs that i had lying around, they are probably 5/8" tall or so , no toque twist or anything, its really low, 30wt oil in the shocks with the dual rate pistons, slower compression, faster rebound, rear upper shock mount flipped (lowers how it comes stock) and shocks on the holes closest to the center of the truck, handles awesome, set up as a basher/jumper it stays on its wheels alot better now,

I've been running the dual rate pistons as well, but one sides reversed on the valving. Helps with forward T.T., but hurts it in reverse.

Also flipped the link/shock mounts on the axle.
