Default Fwd weight is good

I would mount the motor with the bulk of it forward. Better climbing characteristic that way. One way to fight torque twist is with heavier weight shock oil stategically placed to compensate for the twist. like heavier weight in the right rear shock if that's were the torque compression is greatest.

I just cranked the springs down on the side it leans to when it twists... When it's moving, it's all level and such.. Stopped, it leans to the right some and when I go full balls, it'll lean to the left.. Especially when under a big load... But not enuff to throw my steering out at all...

Yes you do, when the shocks are extended.

Default Droop?

I'm sorry but what does the term "droop" mean.

Ask Rockwerks, I'm sure he'll be happy to explain.
