Default Lateral Body Posts?

Has anyone mounted a body on the CR-01 with Lateral body posts from the sides of the chassis, AX10 style?

I am sick of my body rolling all over the place and figure this lower mounting may alleviate the problem.

I found a lot of the body wobble comes from the play in the cantilever arms. If you're running them, run a small ziptie through the cantilever arms to tie up the slack between the two. (Check Bok's thread or Eepee's thread to see pics of the installation). It will help transfer axle to frame movement through the shocks and springs instead of the two cantilever arms moving around independently.
