Hey guys I've torn my truck apart at least 10 times now trying different link and shock setups and still have not found a good setup! I'm running stock tlt axles, k2-3l chassis and stock shocks(for now). The guy at the lhs suggested running my upper links to the servo plate to help with stability. Is this going to be worth the time and money? I just want to drive it! Any input would be appreciated! And please post pics of your setup if you can! Thanks guys

On my rig I have the upper links connected to the servo plate and lower links connected to the axles near the steering knuckels as possible. Moreover the lower links are parallels to the ground and then I use Integy Maxx shocks with Losi white springs on the front and yellow to the rear filled with 45 wt. oil and 2 hole pistons. Here the photos:

With that chassis I would get some 60mm shocks. Lets see some pic's of how you have your Links set up. That would help us out in helping you.

If you could post a pic of your setup from the bottom we'll see what's up with it.
Triangulating the upper links on a servo plate is almost mandatory on a TLT. It cuts out the majority of the flex steer effect, where articulation of one end will make the other end track crooked.
Here's another example, but on a real 1:1 FJ this time:

See where he's bolted his upper links to a bracket on the top of the pumpkin? That's basically what you're trying to accomplish.

Ok ill try to get some up tonight, I currently have it torn apart AGAIN but I had all 4 links to the outside of the axle, it would just lean over at first so I changed the shock position and then it wouldn't articulate very good so now I'm here. Thanks for the help guys ill try to get them up asap!
