best mods to fix rollovers on Smaxx?
What are the best mods i can do to help prevent rollovers while turning.
ebay ads claim stiffer springs help. The guy at the LHS said converting to 4x4 can help.
any opinions? Right now i have the rear really stiffened up with those spacers to compensate for the engine/fuel all being back there. any input?

Ditto what Rob68 said about moving the shocks to the position that lowers the truck the most. Mine was still rolling over but not that much, then I bought the 14mm axle extenders and I don't roll over anymore, because not only is it lower but it's wider. I think I paid about $14 for my extenders off ebay.

Off set wheels will make a huge difference. I would not use axle extenders because it puts alot of stress onteh bearings. Lower the truck and get wider offset wheels will make it real stable.
