more power to rear wheels
I wonder if someone can give me some advice.I own a storm unlimited sut.
I would like to transfer most of the power to the rear wheels as there is to much in the front causing excesive wheel ballooning.
I have stripped the center diff and put cv joint grease in the differential.
is it wrong what im doing.
how can i put more power to my rear wheels
thanks

RE: more power to rear wheels
Packing your diffs is "said" to be close to a 10k diff oil. That is VERY light. Thats why your front wheels are unloading all your power. Put some 30k diff fluid in the center diff. That will help keep the power more equal from front to rear. If you still get ballooning up front, then go even heavier at the center diff.

RE: more power to rear wheels
Thermal is spot-on....
If you are not racing this truck, personally, I would go even heavier. The rear 'squat' lightens the front end and contributes to the diff diverting power to the front. If you strictly bash consider even 50K or higher for the center diff.

I use 50.000 in the center diff and 10.000 up front and the power is evenly distrubuted and heavier shock springs n oil in the rear helped the sut big time. it is now the truck to beat at our local track everybody is gunen for me

RE: more power to rear wheels
If you want equal power to front and rear at all times, the cheapest route is the fill the center diff with epoxy. Yah, it ghetto, but it works like a charm for bashing and cost almost nothing. Otherwise do what Thermal said.
