running the shocks/springs with no spring spacers the truck has way too much tourqe roll(left rear) and the right front is off the ground when i turn right, how has everyone dealt with that. what kind of setup should i use that works best for most.

Adding a large shock spacer to the left rear should help a bunch.

I get no torque stear in forward motion now... just a little body roll. But reverse is a different story... but I still have a 3 link up front...and no plans to change that at all.

I'm running a droop setup with the stock three link and I have almost no torque steer.

it will allow for more of a proper articulation... thus helping you climb a bit more.

I got one from TCS called the Boomerang 4-link... like 15 bucks or so.

what about the bent bar links, are they for the front and rear and are they worth getting

Rear.... front really don't matter to much.

THey allow your tires to get to the ledges easier to apply tire grip instead of a rail to slide on.... just will help you climb a bit better.

Not really... just rears...

Fronts don't do much.

No torque steer, better travel, less rubbing, comes with the bent links but it is offered without for $10 less, for the money it is AWSOME

The bent links really expose your drive shafts. So as long as you are cool with that.

I run the bent links in the rear, but I run them backwards so that they run parallel with the drive shaft down to the axle.

I personally feel like when running the bent links the traditional way you are putting all the impact on the drive shafts when you are climbing ledges. I feel like that can only bring on broken parts.

Heres how I run them in the rear...
