Truthfully I have only used it for break-in and it took too long for my liking to heat the engine up. I can imagine for normal running it would be fine. Break-in takes a long time anyway, and the extra 20 minutes for every cycle seemed a bit much. Maybe I'm just impatient. I know I'll be using it this winter.

I would go back to the stock caster blocks, go to 1 degree front toe, and 2-A rear camber link. I would also put the stock rear chassis brace back on and consider 10K front diff oil if the other changes don't help enough.

Yep. But I can't say really any more. Hopefully someone else will chime in.

When jumping the ass end wants to kick up and i need to stay on the gas to bring the front up at times. Running stock springs with 35 front and 32.5 rear oils, pistions are stock. Ride height is set correctly. Would running a lighter oil help with the rear kicking up?

Are you by chance running a rear skid plate?

Frank,

The 200% increase is dead on. People were calling me a cheater 2 weeks ago. I didn't pit for our 15 min main and won by over 2 laps. They actually told me to take it off yesterday! They're all jealous that I know where to buy them and they don't.

How long ago did you redo the shocks? I run skids all the time and I've never noticed it kick-up because of the skids.

I used to run skids all the time too. Then I stopped running them and everything felt better. There was one layout we had that had a lot of sharp edges on jumps and I noticed the back end being kicked up. Took the skid off and all of my problems went away. I've yet to put one back on since. The truck just feels better without the skid on there. That was my experience anyway. I used to swear by DE skids... Not anymore. Still lovin my bumpskids though.
