    Sounds like anything will help at the moment with your shocks being soooo short.

    Fixed....... GET THE RIGHT SHOCKS FOR THE FRONT !!.. get them as long as possible of longer or TAKE THEM OFF .. i went from running 10.6-7 with 1.8X .60 foots to 1.60 flat pulling mine off just to see how much the front was hurting me ... after that i got the correct shocks and springs and able to make it work correctly.. WARNING its not good or advise to drive without shocks and yes it sucks to drive down track but i was fustrated and didnt care

    I went and bought some cheapy replacements and they were just as long so I didnt replace them. Gunna go back and see if I can get something longer. I could have sworn the stockers I pulled off were longer now im second guessing myself.

    DJM has 3" and 4" arms...

    I would say get some stock length shocks from somewhere and try that out. If I remember right the pics of your truck with the new wheels you have a hell of a rake going right? That could be causing it not to transfer right either...

    WTF! What size rear tire you running? What does the rear suspension have? Shackles and hangers or what?

    Kurt is right. Too many people play with the rear suspension thinking that's where the problem is. Is the front isn't working then you'll be chasing your tail forever. You could try some shock extenders on your current shocks.

    Also make sure the control arms can move freely up and down without binding the bushings. If they do bind up you can just loosen the bolts until they can be moved with slight resistance. Just make sure they're tightened fully for everyday driving. If you have a sway bar, disconnect it for the track.
