After watching the videos from D&K I realized I had way to much wheel travel. Under hard exceleration my skid plate was dragging the ground. I put a few more turns on the coilovers and added bump stops. I was getting 15" wheel travel. Now it's about 12" Now I gotta learn to drive it again.
I noticed in the video that ky-bc posted that when I landed my frame laid on the ground. Watch the vid and as the buggy gets ready to land stop the vid. This is what I love about the coilovers, you don't even feel the impact.

if you play it over and over, the laugh at the end gets funnier each time

The stops made a huge differance. Lots easier to drive when the frame is not dragging.

If the frame is on the ground that means it's taking weight off the tires.
