how much softer are you going in the springs? white or black? and when you go to the softer string do you still run the same shock oil?

by a shorter rear camber link do you mean mounting it at 1/A

Black Springs, 56 pistons 32.5 shock oil, and you have to cut about 1/8" on each side of the rear camber link and add 2 ounces of weight right in front of the rear pivot on the chassis. Shocks all the way out. 2.0mm swaybar Per Casey

Yep thats the one

So far I have liked it on all types of track conditions that I have run it on.

Its not that many changes you can do it between runs to see how it feels. (except for the camber link I would cut it first and then try it back to back)

Few questions...

When you say "move the shocks outside" are you referring to going to the #3 hole on the shocktower AND the outside hole on the arm?

Are you changing the front end of the truck at all, or are you still using the stock set-up for the front?

Where are you using (if at all) the SmartDiffs?

Thanks.

CJ Weaver
