The first thing that jumps out to me is the battery placement, have you tried moving it forward? that might help.

I have tried moving it forward however the battery wires interfere with the hold down if I do.

Is there any way to put it in with the wires to the back?

Cool, give that a try, there's other things you can do as well if that docent give you enough, I noticed you don't have any spacers under your ball studs on your shock tower, that might help as well, but I'd do one change at time if it's handling descent the way it is, definitely would look at some of the factory team setup sheets to get some ideas, good luck.

30K is too much up front. Going up into higher diff weight in the front is to increase understeer, and I would expect exactly what you have described by running that thick up front.

In the beginning, there was too much rotation in the truck running 3k and 3k. Some even went as high as 60K for a bit, but we've worked out many other ways to get this truck planted. Most guys now, who are running a "regular" slipper setup, seem to be going 7k-10k up front with a rare 15k. 30k is way too high!

20front
3k rear

Yellow springs on all 4 corners, same rest setup as you have..i have superb grip on carpet, and would not go for Yelloow sways...

here is a pic of the IX8 in the truck

for your exotek saddle setup, what parts did you need exactly to do that and did you have to modify the chassis in any way?

So after inspecting my truck I saw the steering knuckles were rubbing on the arm causing binding, Anyone else have this problem?
