Hi folks, getting to this now on my rig.

Still has the factory bicycle pump fitted to the draglink brackets with the 90 degree bolts version.

So I had a look at the search function and some older threads mostly discussing the GQ set up or pre 2000 GU set ups. SO rather than necromance those, figured I would pose the question for the GU 2000 onward mob.

Trying to decide with my lift, big rubber and the weight of some of Detroit's finest turbo charged V8 diesel iron over the front wheels would I get better results from something like this RTC

if I set him up right like shown in this ditty

or go non RTC with something like

Interested to read from those that have tried both in similar applications.

My steering at current is power, and feels rather light with minimal feedback from track and road.

Cheers
