Default rear end geometry

Have you changed the rear end geometry at all with your new back axle setup?The reason I ask is that on stock amazons the rear end of the car actually lifts slightly under acceleration due to the geometry setup.|This actually forces the body and axle apart,pushing the axle down onto the road.It can be very difficult to get wheelspin in a stock amazon because of this.A 4 linked rear end of say a rally escort does the exact opposite of this due to the placing of the link bars.It may help to explain the lack of traction off the line.
