PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE YOU COMMENT 
Just in case nobody has noticed, our rig has more torque twist than most rigs out there. In fact, i'm surprised nobody has ever mentioned it on every post i have ever made :lmao:
The challenge we have is that the majority of our reduction happens in the center transmission which we used from the Twin Hammers. To get the smaller diff housings and adjust the overall drive ratio for the TH trans, we had to go with a taller ring and pinion ratio. So mechanically we are always going to have more torque twist than other rigs with a lower pinion/Ring gear ratio.
Here is what I have done to reduce the torque twist on my rigs.
I switched to our threaded aluminum shock bodies and modified the stock plastic threaded adjuster collar from the original shocks. I remove the knurled larger section and use the smaller ring to adjust the pre-load on the softer upper spring. Doing this set up, is kinda like running the left rear spring with more preload. The good part is that it allows your rig to sit even at ride height and get stiffer through compression. This is how the "real" dual spring shocks work on my buddies Polaris UTV. I do plan to make this a running change to our rigs in the future but it will take some time before you will see it available.
Now before you accuse me of trying to get you to buy our optional shocks, I'll note you should be able to do this with any optional dual spring type shock or even your stock plastic shocks. Yes you will need to buy a set of VTR233027 for just the Adjuster collars.
Please consider this a tech tip/ Setup tip and yes i know there are different cut gears options out there as well as sway bars, raised upper link locations etc. This is just another option that has worked pretty good for me.
Thanks,
Rich
