Keep the ratio between front and rear as close to stock as possible.

thanks to all that actually helped me!!,, i think that i have it figured out to the point of the stock setup is 1.0429 and my setup is 1.0192.it really seems like such a small figure hard to believe that is what is causing t/c to come on .so a taller rear or a lower profile front and if that fails keep the t/c off .

Life goes a lot better with laughter and beer.

PS You never know, the guy above just might have the answer to your next question that nobody else gets...

to the contrary,,, i do have a very good sense of humor and cracking jokes are normally not a problem. however people should choose words like doctors and funerals for your buddies that you drink those beers with.

If they are the same the ratio is one and that is your problem. You can choose to divide the rear by the front to get a ratio larger than one or front by rear to get a ratio smaller than one. Same principle.
