Default Reducing torque twist/roll.....?

Post opinions and pics for suspension setups that reduce torque twist/roll........

thanks!

I have found that change spring tension helps........

for example 1 stiff spring vs....3 soft springs....

Any more?????

Triangulating the upper links helps too.......

CAN YOU GUYS POST YUUR EXERIENCE AND OPINIONS PLEASE....?

Mounting your rear shocks more vertical also helps.

Stiffer spring on left rear shock, if that’s the one compressing on torque twist.
Thicker oil
More vertical rear shocks


Triangle, mount the links on chassis closer to each other and farther apart on axle.

There's no magic link/shock set-up that works everywhere. Terrain, driving style and rig set-up all play a role in how your rig performs.

So,

1) more anit squat or keep links parallel helps.....

2) puttin shocks more vertical than horizontal works to reduce TT...

Hope this helps an issue that keeps coming up...

It should be a sticky or.....?
