I would have thought the XX4 springs will be a touch small diameter and bind on the shafts rather than compress freely!

Found the easiest way to cut the bladders was to fold them in half and cut along the edge of the ring that sits on the shock body. Found they kept the car more settled on a bumpy rutted track, and were good for bad landings from jumps.



On the subject of grip I always found less anti squat gave the feeling of a more consistent level of grip, as there is less weight transfer. But equally doesn't square the car up so well when applying the power.
