Trying to find ways to keep my tmaxx from rolling over in tighter turns.. other than keeping the height of the truck low and keeping the body height low, are there any other ways to help keep the wheels on the ground?:\

Those are really the best ways to keep it from rolling because you are lowering the center of gravity, the other thing you could do is get some wheels that have a wider off set or I believe they also make some axle extenders that will make your stock wheels stick out farther, either way it will give you a wider wheel base making the truck more stable.
 
use a little bit lighter weight oil in your shocks so the truck has more sway but now too much lighter or it will become more sensitive to small adjustments of the steering wheel!!!JMO though!!!
 
SUPER STRONG SPRINGS in your shocks. Seesm to defy logic..... BUT it works.

I am not sure what type of driver you are....

I bought a set of these a while back.... they are INSANELY tough. So tough I didnt use em.

I sat on em for a few months finally decided to put em in to see what would happen..... no more bottoming out after jumps, WHEELIE monster, and almost no roll overs during high speed turns.

I guess it depends what type of driver you are ( I am a basher) I love these things even though I thought I hated em.

I have aluminum bulks and towers, not sure if plastic will hold up to the power of these springs.
 
i have stiff spring in mine as well and worked out better. u could get a sway bar to help u out but i advise on not getting the axle extensions unless u wanna b replacing bearing every other time u drive your truck. My Buddie has them and now his wheels wobble b/c his bearings are toast but he wont listen to me and replace em his loss i guess. On a good note the axle extensions do work almost too good
 
LOL I ordered the same set of springs, and let them sit because they were so stiff..now my buddy is using 4 of them on his truck with just 4 shocks...
 
hmm.. i will have to check out the springs I guess, If I decide to get em I'll let you know how they work with plastic shock towers

I ran 4 of em for a while, I have just put the rest of em on.
