Question Axles crawling under body & lifting body up???

I changed my suspenion on my clod axles & mounted the shocks to the axle tube & the lower link as well but now the front & rear axles keep crawling under the truck & raising the body until the shocks reach there max length when crawling anything. Is there a fix for this? I'm not running springs & after breaking the thing last weekend with my other setup my patients is wearing thin with this thing. Thanks!

my guess is your running a half assed droop setup right?
fix: get outer springs or internal springs if you want to keep droop

Center Limiting straps. Will keep the axles put... But you know a Pimp Cane will fix all of that..

the thought of limit straps did cross my mind but I didn't think anyone used them anymore & wasn't sure if they were really good to use? Can't go with pimp cane although the simpler the better I feel right now. It's for my RatZilla project. I just ain't happy with the suspension yet.

you have too much anti-squat built into your suspension geometry.

Moving your link mounts on the chassis will help, normally more vertical seperation on the chassis will help reduce anti-squat.


Do a search for anti-squat and you will find tons of information.
