Buggy springs are a bit shorter. In general spring rates aren't liner; as they compress a bit more they get more stiff. So if all springs have a progressive nature, then if you use a shorter spring in the same application it gives you a more progressive option.
Not really sure how to describe the application, but think of a Cadillac. It's nice to float over small bumps, but as you compress the outside suspension going around a corner at speed, at some point you want it to firm up and not roll over. Progressive springs give you that feel.

Is that a 22 specific problem? All my vehicles have always done that if I don't use diff lube or grease on the threads. I have some old AE stealth diff lube that I've been using for years that fixes that issue. Suggest trying to put something to reduce friction in the threads, at least as an interim measure until your captured ends come in.

The guide shows initial reaming (body reamer), alignment, and grease trick.

This is a 22SCT specific problem with the modified ball cup on the steering link.

You're right - it is not a 22 Platform specific issue. I should have mentioned that I always build my turnbuckles/ball cups with Chapstick on the threads for lube. I should have mentioned that the un-modified camber link ball cups are not popping off when I adjust them. And I should have mentioned I never had a ball cup pop off my 22T when adjusting them - even after I first built them.

I don't know how mine will fare on the track until I run it. All I said was it popped on the bench while being adjusted. It has not popped off while cycling the suspension by hand on the bench.

As for trimming them -
If you cycle the suspension and see if they hit you will know if you have trimmed them enough. Simply compress the suspension and see if it binds... if ity does trim some more off

Tried diff tire combos, had 3 sets of shocks built with different configurations. Tried 5.5 8.5 and 13.5 could not get any to hook up . What it boils down to is I should have just raced my xxxsct instead of bringing a new truck to a bigger race and try to dial it in

What I was looking for is just a basic set up for a loose surface to start with. That's why I was asking what Ryan and Keith were using at the sc nats. Our home track is the same pretty much. I did all the mods with the tranny / ball cups R

If you identify some specific problems (loose out of the corner, pushes high speed, loose in the sweeper etc) and what you are currently running setup and tire wise. I would be happy to try and help you out in dialing in your truck. There are a few of us that will help out. As others have said the truck just got into a lot of our hands a little over a week ago and we are learning more each day. I am sorry you had a frustrating experience but give the truck a shot and have some fun with it.

will rpm ball cups work for the fixs?
