I adjusted them as you said, all the way tight on compression and a couple clics from tight on extension. It still blows the tires off with the trans brake. Foot braking, it spins as well but not as bad.
Any other recomendations for the trans brake set up?
Should I go to a much closer to 50/50 (slightly tight) set up for foot braking?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Scott did you measure to make sure you have 5" of extension for the front AND rear?

Is the front and rear suspension nice and free to move with the shocks unbolted? This can cause a lot of grief if any thing is over tightened and hasn't been greased in a while.

You're running a bias tire? Radials will need the rear extension loosened up more to work right like Todd mentioned. If will take a few hits to find the right settings on the shocks. Just keep adjusting until it responds.

Some video would sure help, good luck!
