So I am trying to pinpoint some flat jumping issues. I put 2x1.6 tapered pistons in, 32.5 front, 30 rear. It seems as if the rear has trouble coming up. What are some issues I can look at?

Throttle control. Also, I tried some tapers and didn't like them. Currently on the 3 hole 1.4's, same weight oil as you said and LOVE it. What springs??

I have the same shock package but I don't have that issue. I would say you are on the throttle a tad too long.

Is the aluminum steering rack and front arm mount lighter or heavier than the stock plastic?

It is going to "lock" the arms down with the hinge pins removing the slop you are getting

alum is heavier than plastic. I have talked to a few people running the AE alloy rack. they all say irs crap and useless. Nothing wrong with the plastic rack.

I'm on white rear, green fronts... Watch your throttle and make sure nothing is bound up. Idk? Make sure your ride height isn't all jacked up one way or the other. ..

The kit comes with a tool.
