Sorry, should have included this in the last post:

A photo from the front of the axle to show how the linkage connects to the arm. A ball stud goes into the original lower shock mount, and another ball stud in the sway bar arm.



Then a link I made by connecting two ball sockets with a 1.5mm all-thread. That link connnects the arm to the axle.

That's awesome, believe it or not I was just thinking about what rear suspension tweaks might help that situation...

Glad that could help. There's lots of ways to do a home made sway bar, but at least we now know a way to do it with the Losi LMT sway bar.

Unexpected change: since I now won't have too much flex at the rear axle, I removed the internal limiters for the rear shocks returning them to 100mm in length.

I'm still using the springs from the 90mm shocks with the same pre-load settings so my ride height stays the same. And since the sway bar is there, the extra down travel only really kicks in when the truck is airborne or at least very light on the suspension.

I've kept the front shocks limited to 90mm.
