Thicker shock oil and stiffer springs.

Ok I put the heavest spring I have and put 80 wt oil in. It still twist like hell. Do I need more weight up front, am i trying to climb too slick of a surface?

I would start buy 4 linking the rear. Also try moving the lower links in some.
Here is the bottom of mine.

I moved them in so i could triangulate the links. The uppers are reverse of this and my torque twist is gone.
I made this bracket for the rear 4 link.

Put the stiffest spring on the left rear shock, if it's picking up the front right tire. That and a link re-do would be a good start.
