start with tire & ride height ( 23mm low as you go )
what if tires and ride height are correct and it still wants to come swing around in front?

Hey guys,
Those running the 8mm mod on the rear camber links... what length are your turnbuckles? (between cups, like in the manual instructions ?mm).
I'm running mine inside hole on shock tower, and outside hole on the fibre c-hub mod.
Cheers.

Borak. I was able to get mine to do what I wanted by using a lower bite tire up front. It really helped calm the truck down. So far the sway bars and the lower bite tires up front, have helped me the most.
