I've tryed green springs in the rear and hated them.
The setups I've seen on sponsored trucks, have been really close to stock except minor roll center and ride height changes. Alot are adding weight in the Batt tray. I just run a 5800mah square pack.
rear bottom shock > middle and more rear ride height should help
Cav's "shootout" setup, is a GREAT base setup. Built mine manual stock after one race changed to "shootout". As I live in FL (outdoor temps 80 to 100), upped the shock oil to 35 front and 32.5 rear. Shorty was a bit *twitchy, so the brick is what I run now.
*twitchy <<< OVER micro manage straight line, to keep it straight.
