I went to a black front spring and orange rear spring with 5 wt heavier oil front and rear, and the truck felt better. The guys kept telling me I could lower the ride hieght but I was at 25.5 f and 25f and I was collecting alot of clay on the bottom of the chassis already. What else could I have done to limit the traction roll, so I could push the truck harder. I felt like tires helped, but I felt the problem was more in chassis setup than anything. I ran the complete dunford setup down to every detail and it felt super soft on the suspension too me right from the get go. Hopefully I will get another test day this week.

Did you try this one? Lower the car. Clay on the bottom of the chassis does not mean anything. The car will bottom out. This is not a bad thing. Lower the car a few mm. This should help.

the newest setup uses the 15 casters. If your using the stock plastic casters i would take the shock end and unscrew it two turns similar to the older setups
on that note what does the new alum front carrier actually do? raise or lower the front steering block?
they raise the spindle itself and also increase the caster 5 degrees gives you more steering
I am new to the truck, the second truck that I have I loaned to another local fast guy so we could have some competition and his was setup very close to the setup you posted.

Thanks for your help I really am digging the truck.

one last thing the 3 hole #56 piston, is that the stock 22 #56 piston? what is the hole size on those? is that like a 3 x 1.4 or something?
