yes , sorry torque twist, lol :mrgreen:, i run a maverick built rig, shaft drivern, with stock links and shocks
what i have learned is that you should raise and spread out the rear links if you want more info go to the creeper section and look throught RMD's tips and tricks thread
as for shocks what ever corner is lifting take that shock and make it stiff and the oppoesste side rear shock stiffer to try to push that side down more

Thanks for the advice,, "thumbsup"
A couple of things you can do to combat TT:
Thicker shock oil. Recommend 50wt on three of the shocks and 90wt on the side of the front axle that is lifting.
Preload the rear shocks.

That doesnt look like torque twist, that is axle steer. Axle steer is when the axles are not parallel with one another when articulated. Most setups will have some axle steer but that is bad.
It looks like you dont have enough triangulation in your links. The lower links should be mounted more inboard, looks like they are on the outside of the chassis plates now.
Yours are like this I \/ I
They should be more like this /\/\
You got a picture of the links from the top or the bottom with the body and everything else out of the way?

The lower links need to be triangulated. They should be narrow at the skid plate and wide at the axles.
