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

I ran black front and rear the other week and the car ran very well. our track way abit rough and the black soaked up the bumps much better than the stock setup.

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.
