OK guys, ThunderbirdJunkie has some what-might-be-stupid questions for you.
The ballstuds you guys are spacing up...couldn't find it with a search of the thread, so please direct ThunderbirdJunkie to the answer if it has been covered...is it the front or rear?
The rear inside tire seems to lift first, so ThunderbirdJunkie is currently stuffing 6mm of spacers under the front inner ballstuds and 3mm in the rear. Does this seem reasonable? The inner ballstuds also seem to be disagreeing with this 6mm spacing, and ThunderbirdJunkie needs a ballstud with longer thread...is this available? Do you think 3mm on both ends will suffice?
Got the front swaybar set today....going to install that too.

Farmer John tried to numb the front end further with more spacers, but for Farmer John it just unbalanced the truck and made it's handling worse than if Farmer John had just left it be.

Farmer John has found that taking Associated's desired roll center and lowering it evenly on both ends has produced the best results...for Farmer John. Remember, the lower the roll center, the more resistant the chassis will be to roll...

I found a guy in Canada selling overtrays for the SC10 4x4 with a driver moulded into it on E-bay , sorry I cant post the link so copy/paste this . looks like a cool way to keep the crud out.

Other points are somewhat valid....and so far I have barely picked up anything inside my chassis on the track I mainly run at....
But have you ever heard of something called a "body reamer"?
Also, this does more for keeping dirt out than the Pro-Line driver....plus "not sealing properly" was probably done on purpose to help with air flow, which will help with the cooling problem mentioned...
Just sayin'

One thing I have noticed is the insane amount of dirt that gets inside all around the chassis, granted that only happens when I run it on a track with loose dirt, but it really seemed I had at least 1/2 pound of extra weight on it!!!
On a different note I was able to try out the f/r sway bars, I really liked how much harder I was able to drive, specially into the turns.... Having a blast with my truck !!

Now, since I'm anal about my shock length (it's an On-Road thing) does anyone who has lengthened their rear shocks by this "three turns out" have an overall length in mm of their rear shocks (measured at full extension from the very top of the shock to the very bottom...not eye to eye)?
