How much rake is that in the jbar, seems like alot, 4-6 inches of rake usually works pretty good. Are you trailing the rr any, if so, close up the trail some. Is that a qc or 9inch and if you could give bar angles in degrees it would be helpful as most brackets aren't the same.

as washeduptoo said, id check your trail. also maybe raise your LR top bar one hole to start. 170 lbs of wedge is quite a bit of wedge. might try dialing it back down to like 100ish.

We run a GRT with similiar spring rates as yours..When it really slicks off, we will be 2 down LRU bar, bottom LRL bar, 5 down RRU, 2 up RRL ..36 inch 300 lb 5th coil with a straight 75 shock...150 lbs bite...Shorten up your right links some...Bring the upper to 17" and the lower to 15" just like the left side...Take a little stagger out also...
