No no, I was in the middle hole with my rear shocks. I had to move a hole forward. It was suggested, you move a hole back.. You got it right. Cough cough, I'm pretty sure someone(if not 2 someone's) mentioned, ONE change at a time Glen..... ;) |

I went to my practice spot here on the farm. Still not making lines I've done before. Seems to want to lift and flip backwards. I forgot my tools, (not to mention uppers at chassis are a bit@h to change on rocks due to my electronics.) just moved my upper fronts down a hole at the chassis. I gotta chase my old setup and move from there. Should have ran it like it was after I installed my Calderwood front link. Am I going the total wrong direction? Should I have moved rears instead?

| Absolutely need your help. I was trying a little of this and a little of that. I couldn't really see your pics real well on my tablet, so I took what I thought I knew and what I thought your setup was. This is where my setup is now. My problems started when I went with adjustable front mount. Winner, I'm running dual micro sidewinder, bec, and a 4pl. Sent from a device I've used on the toilet. |

Weather permitting, I'm going to my first comp tomorrow. Excited and a little nervous. I went back to the stock location on front axle with my uppers. I'm sticking with the one change at a time rule. I've been chasing a setup I already had, so I'm hoping to get results I'm familiar with. Sent from a device I've used on the toilet. |

The weather was perfect and I got to run my first comp. It was awesome! Met some great guys with the River City Rock Crawlers based in St Louis. I came in 5th out of 6. My first two courses went good, but I got nervous for some reason on the third and final course. Truck felt great. Lowered my front uppers to stock on axle. It seemed neutral and natural. Here's a video of my second course. Nothing impressive, but I'm pleased. 1st comp course 2.: http://youtu.be/pXawxYzRWIw Sent from a device I've used on the toilet. |

Setup felt great. Was different Rock than I'm used to, so it worked. It's rained since Sunday, so haven't been on my home Rock yet to see how it feels. (natural, layered limestone). Sent from a device I've used on the toilet. | |

you need to start by don't worry about finishing get the gates clean do this an you will find you will pick up more cleared gated every time you comp it will come my friend the rig should feel the same on your rock just may or may not work as well now that you have found a happy point do small things one at a time . I used to rite down my setup when I found a good point so I could always go back to it if I didn't like changes I did. the setup I gave you may not be the best everywhere but it will work anywhere an be ok. now make very small adjustments to not what it did so you will no what the change did an when you get to a place an it not the best you will no what to change to make it better . I hope this has been helpful for you an glade I could do my part . im not crawling rite now but ill still help you with any chaotic chasis you have |

Thanks for the words Slowride. I think I'm close on setup for my driving style. It's amazing how slight, ever so small changes can drastically alter the chararistics of a rig. If I'm thinking this through, I think I want to raise rear uppers at axle. Going higher in the front took away grip. I figure if I take away from the rear, it'll help the front where all the magic happens. I'll be hitting up Calderwood for one of his sweet mounts for the rear axle. I hate not utilizing the front mount I got from Sam, because it's so freaking pretty. On another topic, does everybody agree to shave my Rovers? They are siped, but not shaved. I'm currently running memory foam, but will be ordering some C.I. foams. Thinking 5.5's, medium and soft. I'm just under 5lbs. Sound about right guys? Sent from a device I've used on the toilet. |
