I built my gate keeper to replace my worn out axial bomber. I was sadly surprised when the gate keeper couldn't take a turn without flopping. I'm currently running pit bull rock beast XL tires, stock PB foams mounted on SSD assassin wheels with .350 VP hubs.

Running the shocks in the lowest ride height setting possible, with the stock rear anti sway bar as well and the 30 weight stock shock oil as well.

I'd really like to get this thing lower and wider. I planned on going to a small diameter tire and maybe some .475 hubs.

Also thinking about some CI deuces wild foams to help prevent tire roll-over.

Any other suggestions? Or ideas on a lower profile tire that would still have the forward bite of the RB?

Are the tires hitting the cage?

I have 5.1" tires mounted, and had to turn down EPA from full lock to avoid hitting the cage. It is fine on the bench, but any suspension travel when near max turning and the tires grabbed the cage. I think that was a big part of it being "tippy", the tires were contacting cage and flipping it.


I am sure those big ol' Rock Beasts are much closer!

They sure do. I know that isn't helping the roll over situation either. I found some more stiff foams here at the house I'm going to try but I still want to go to a lower profile tire.
