Default top heavy. what will help??

other than removing my roof rack and all the goodies in it, what could be done the help with the high C.O.G? i mounted it with velcro so i could pull it off easy if i need to. but it looks good on the truck and i really want to keep it on

my wheels are weighted,12 oz per tire up front,8oz per rear, my battery is a 2s saddle pack with each cell mounted on each slider. the rest of my electrics are mounted as low as i can get em.

anything else i can try?

If you've got everything mounted as low as possible, there are two more things you can do to effectively lower your COG.

1- Lower the chassis
2- Add weight below the COG (axle weights or more wheel weights)

Are you blue monkey?
I mean it's in your signature and I'm so glad that vendors who provide the same service who pay for their vendor star aren't getting the attention they deserve.

I'm sorry, now I feel like an ahole. I never heard of them nor knew they were a vendor here.

Dip shit award goes to me.
