Also, to center the posts I ground down some front suspension bushings (top hat) and it fit perfectly inside the original hole in the top deck.
So if you wanted more rear grip, remove the pivot ball as this raises the roll centre reducing grip, + remove the damper and you will see a big increse in rear traction

Btw other thing you can do is remove the rear suspension mount and mount the shock directy to the motor mount. Also you would need to turn your front shock mount 180 degrees and maybe dependig the shock, readjust the shock length.
