Is it normal for the right front wheel to come of the rock about 1.5 to 2 inches when I'm climbing? If I use the winch down its not so bad. Maybe its normal.

It is pretty common on a rig with stock suspension and trans configuration. It is caused by torque twist.

Usual fixes include. 4 link rear suspension, or front and rear. Add weight to front tires. Get a stiffer spring for the left rear shock. If it is an axial. You can mirror the trans.

What your getting is called torque twist. It SUCKS! just make a simple 4 link setup and some new springs or shocks to lower it some and you should be good. I found that my truck did alot better when i threw on some smaller shocks and bent links. |

| It's a one off custom built machine stainless steel frame four link suspension tlt shaved axles alumi c's brushless motor winch down front end running proline moabs. I have all the electronic's on the front axle but still has alot of torque it also has four or five inch's of clearence on the belly. so it sits pretty high too. |

That is probably the problem COG is to high. The whole truck wants to twist over.

you can also a shock spacer in the left rear shock and that should help |
