I run a ladderr set up On my Duster. As long as air pressure is the same in both rear tires it wont pull. Unless you installed something wrong. Need more tracion raise the bars to the floor. Wont less lower them towards the road.

Are you running leafs or coil overs? If you are running leafs did you install the axle floaters?

If you did not you better start. The bars will put the springs in a bind on launch causing severe spring wrap up on the front half of the springs and when it unloads it will produce massive wheel hop.

Do you have what they call the adjust a link? The one that has the adjuster on the bottom tube at the rear axle.

If that's what you have it's for pinion angle adjustment or correction. You can also change the front mount position either up or down and then correct it from the rear link instead of turning out the front heim joint.

I forgot they made these, but I bet that is what you have since I told you already how to set up the front adjustment and you were talking about it running side ways. I use coil overs too. Less weight that way.

Maybe this time I got it straight for you. If not ask again ir anything else you might need. I'll help if I can.
