Does anyone know if that guy (forgot his name) is still making those shims for the tranny mod? I hit him up on FB but never heard back.
Also, does anyone have any pics of these shims? Just curious what to expect.

PM "slick1" on these forums, he runs RCRD. Normal takes a couple days to get a reply.

He posted last week that they were backordered at this time and didn't say when they would be back in stock. Try the TLR blog for pics and how to install.

It's pretty easy to do without the special shims. I just did my brothers and mine using this method.

It is difficult to make any suggestions without knowing what you are currently running. What setup are you running?

We mostly just use the Losi ride hieght and camber gauges.

Calipers can come in handy as well. Harbor Frieght usually has digital ones that will not break the bank.

LOSA99172 is the Camber gauge I use
LOSA99173 is the ride height gauge I use

I just make my steering links the same length and then eyeball the toe in or out but RPM make a toe gauge if you need one. As for the caster it is set by whichever caster blocks and shims you use.

Per Frank, try the following:

Some things to try:

Red front springs
Lower Inner front ball stud
Less over all caster
Front kick to 20 (20/10 from 25/5)
Remove all ball stud washers
Move battery further forward
Lower Spindles
Increase front camber
Lean in front shocks
Add toe in
