[QUOTE="Welderd, post: 35917, member: 144"] as far as ruling out 3link numbers - I am no expert but I am an engineer and I think things thru, too much sometimes - well ok - all the time. there's nothing that I've ever heard of or seen that the 3link could be causing. All the effects of suspension that I have knowledge of affect the entire axle side similarly. If it had bad antisquat - the rear would jack, not compress one and extend another. If the front had the problem and I was pushing into a bad front 3link - it would also affect the entire front end. I'm all ears for something that could be causing it but I haven't thought of it. I'm a little resistant to suspension change due to the fact that everything is so close and we fought to get it to this point and all fit. I will change it if it is the problem but I'm not going to just start changing things to see what happens, I need to have a reason for doing it and believe in it myself. I'm fairly convinced that it's due the fact that I have multiple drivetrain offsets. Add in the fact that I'm adding gear reduction before the transfer case and it's offset and I can see how I could have 4-5 times the torque load in the chassis vs your typical drivetrain/buggy design. If that truely is the case - I have to increase spring rate, add some swaybars, possibly move my top shock mount outboard, control it with winches and just learn to live with it. [/QUOTE]
