You need to shorten your upper links to fix your caster. It should be set at 0*. It will help keep your steering from getting bashed in.

John[/quote] Combo of cantilevers and being a shafty. If you lose canti's and mount shocks directly to chassis and axles that'll help alot. You'll lose some articulation but don't sweat it. Longer WB helps too, try to keep heavy components (batts,motor) as low, in chassis, as you can. |

Thanks again John |

Well man, I love the body but you really need to do something about those 40's. I think they look really bad compared to the cut stock clod tires. I have no room to talk because I have 40's on my txt but mine are nice and scratched up so they go unnoticed kinda. My w/b is at 16 inches right now and I really dont have a problem with torque flex and my truck climbs really well without trying to flip over backwards. you can always put a few preload clips on your rear right shock to try and lessen the roll. I did that before and it seemed to help a bit

THX for the input but the 40's are not going any where as far as the junk cut clod tires i'll run the MOABS they suit my crawling enviornment better!! |
