      What are the bar angles? Sounds like you have too much RU bar angle and not enough LU bar angle. Do you have limiting chains on both sides?

          Chain it down on rr. Start with about 1/2" of ride height being tight.
          Tighten to 0 as track slicks off.
          Should tighten considerably middle-off
          I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.

                I gather this is not an IMCA car. I wouldn't mount it to the birdcage. It can create binding by not allowing the cage to move freely

                    When it's rolled over, yes, depending on how much slack there is. If the chain isn't centered when that side is lifting, it can pull against or into the spring. The bars are trying to push the chassis up so the chain will try to pull against it. Just pay close attention to where the mount would be under acceleration

                        The farther away from the axle tube, the more the age rotates. The degrees will be the same, but the distance is greater. If you are going to mount it to the birdcage, try to get it as close to the tube as you can

                            I would lower the RRU one hole. What length bars C-T-C are you running?

                            Also Check the RR shock. It may be dead/bad. We had a pro shock that gave up one night on a fast hammer down track and it started climbing the rr and hopping as well.

                            Also that chain deal on the RR is ok on smooth tracks if it gets rough hold onto your fillings.
