IS THERE A WAY TO KEEP IT STRAIGHT IN THE AIR
when i ramp it seems to be nose heavy, how can i even this out as its hard to straighten out without me going all the way on my back bumper, i know throttle makes it lift and brakes make it go forward but is there a way to level it out with weights or such???????

Try a different approach to the jump. Maybe let off before you get to the start of the jump then roll into the throttle as you transition onto the face. You might also try going up one spring size in the front. Maybe go over it at a mid throttle setting and don't let off. Hard to say without driving over it.
Or, learn to use throttle to level the truck.

Have a friend you can trust watch the truck from up close to the jump and tell you what the truck is doing. I would think that you might have a problem with the rear end bottoming on the jump and trying to send it over the fron of the truck while you are in the air.

yes, let off the gas at the toe of the ramp......get the feel for touching the gas to bring the nose up......get a roll cage or you will bust an engine mount...
