Default Need help dealing with torque twist

Hey guys, can't seem to eliminate the torque twist. I switched to micro t rears (red in back, white up front), from the stock springs and I am pretty sure it's worse.
By torque twist I mean when turning or maneuvering up rocks sometimes one wheel pops up in the air and I have to wiggle the servo to get it back down which doesn't always work. I think that's torque twist but I could easily be wrong.
Anyways just wondering what everyone has done to eliminate this? Details and pictures if possible!
Thanks everyone!

Post some pics of the specifics if you can.

A lot of times it is the height and weight of the rig that hurts the most. I have had a few rigs that were real bad and I lengthened the links and made it longer wheel base and it went away. Another way to try to eliminate it by changing the pinion angle by lengthening and shortening the upper or lower links. It sometimes will point the power in a different angle.

Lastly...extra wheel weight can often help too. Post up pics of what you can

I think Danally hit it on the head. Lengthening the wheelbase gives the tires a longer lever arm to weigh down the chassis and effectively lowers the spring rate. Weight on the axles also helps.

Sorry! It took a lot longer to get it on picture than I thought. Hope this works

Thanks guys! What is the easiest way to lengthen the truck? Or what have you guys done that worked?

Thanks to the both of you!
