Default Best way to reduce airflow under truggy

Ive tried locking the differential and adding weight to the front of an mbx5t. Im still getting way too much lift in the front end. The only thing that I can think of is increased airflow is responsible. Would cutting a hole in the underside keep it planted to the ground. By my best estimate, problems begin at 50 mph.

different body? Or maybe some holes in the body to release air. My SC, I knock out the side and rear windows so it doesn't parachute.

It being a Truggy, what your seeing is the rear suspension squat a lot and the weight transfer to the back which raises the front. You can lower the front droop screw, and raise the rear ride height or stand the rear shocks up or spring up in the rear.
