I also added silicone tubing to the rear shocks (Doesn't need to be disassembled) shaft to stop it from squatting. Now you will have to decide how much up travel you want in the front and make sure all the tubing is the same length. I chose silicone tubing, because it offers some damping, but you can use any other kind of tube you want. I tought it would work, but it does. My truck doesn't lift it's front anymore.
I have silicone tubing on all 4 shocks already and also a custom wheelie bar. The wind is what is taking the truck....its all of a sudden to. Also its not consistent. Usually around 65-70mph range the truck begins to sway the rear end side to side as lift is created on the rear of the body, then past that it will sometimes just take off....like an airplane with wings. I'm working on reducing frontal area as much as possible and lift. Also I am working on making some bolt on difusers for the rear of the chassis. The MMT is the perfect chassis for high speed runs since its a flat panel. All the other big trucks have an open chassis underneath which creates alot of lift. Also the longer the wheelbase the better I have been with holding the truck down.
