Wheels liftingIm having trouble with my outside wheels lifting. In particular, my front wheel. Ive put softer bushings in the back and lessened the wheel lift but doesnt that defeat the purpose?
I have tried various bushing combos and Im wondering if I should use less wedging in the front or maybe shorten the wheelbase?
Here is what Im using:
Subsonic Pulse on the widest wheelbase
Bennet 5.0
RTS 129

lifting.Don't you want to go softer bushings in the front not the back then? Does it bother you? Maybe ignore it or move your weight forward. I'm pretty much soft all around, with soft in the back for better grip. Mine lift once and a while in front but it doesn't bother me at all really.
 Wheel bite is what bothers me.

I have gone softer in the front, I am currently running white khiros top and bottom in the front and red/blue in back.
I just cant get any softer than that in the front. Its almost as if the front is turning too much and the hanger is reaching its max...perhaps Ill use less wedging in the front and see how that goes.
