      I would increase that rf spring and where are your lr bars at full drop and how much of a drop from ride ht to full drop in inches? Best of luck.

        Sounds like a balance issue

                Go up 50 on rf and see if its any better or try a spring rubber in rf. Do you have a hold down shock on rf? Is car good on entry?

                  By balance issue I mean that weight distribution is not tranfering correctly. The CORRECT fix will take much time to establish. I'm more than happy to help with your situation. Contact me via PM and we can discuss this more. All the answers I have seen here are quick adjustments that may help some, but they are just masking the root of the problemThanksZach

                    car is a hair loose on entry but driver like that. just as soon as he picks up throttle rears spin. ive tried up to 550 straight across but car gets tight on entry then. and yes rf tie down shock.. thinking that might be my problem

                      Try a more compression, less rebound shock on rf to see if that will help. Do you have multiple holes on lrt bird cage, if so try going down toward the axle tube. What are you running for a pull bar?

                          Are you required to run a solid pull bar? If not, that is the problem. We buy a dom tubing to use for a pull bar and are you running a dampner shock on top of rear end?

                            I don't know how short your short bar is but I'd cut the split down. Split isn't always a good thing for traction.
