Yea that really didn't give that much good info all he said to do was set it for the most droop.

-Shock stiffeners on your rear left shock.

-mount your upper links farther forward.

-triangulate your lower links, as well as the top.

This will NOT eliminate twist, but will help.

Yes you can get rid of torque twist, it requires a properly designed suspension.

Ditch the stock 3 linkish setup and go to a real 4 link

Make sure your links are parrallel to each other... if they are 1" apart at the axle make sure they are 1" apart at the chassis

Use some good quality shocks in an upright position (very important since you said you wnat to go droop.

Droop doesnt eliminate TQ twist it just hides it until you get off kilter.

Try mounting your shocks so the shocks are kicking in at the top / \ instead of laid back /


You will most likely go thru several setups until you get one thats right most chassis designers will go thru 20 or so layouts before they get it right but, after that they know what to do and its golden.

That's about the simplest A-B-C tutorial you'll find. There is NO simple way to eliminate ALL of the torque twist because of the gearing in the WK trans and axles. You'll have to experiment with what works best for your, based on your local terrain and your driving style.
