Default Install moser 12bolt rear feel really stiff now

OK its like I put really heavy duty springs in my car now. What will fix this? I spin at anything near 1/2 throttle when before I didnt. I know its colder but it just doesnt feel right. Will messing around with the pinion angle help this? What else can I check also?

Thanks

Oh and what number do you take to get the pinion angle?

If you went to a taller gear(ex. 3:42 to 4:10), then you will spin more because theres more torque(?) being applied to the tire.

When I put in my 12 bolt, I felt the same "stiff" feeling. I assume its because of the extra weight and the thicker material makes it less flexible.

Someone else may put some more light on the subject better than me...

I changed my pinion angle and it got better. Only thing is I think I went the wrong way <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> .

You tighten the control arms too much?
