I can see it centering the weight a little better rather than it being rear heavy... not too sure though...

the rear is better than the front because it throws the weight forward for better steering yet you still get all the benefits to having an extended chassis. That's why the setbacks are so awesome especially for the price. I'm putting the ballistics chassis on now with setbacks on the rear to see how I like that. The last race I attended I had the setbacks on the stock chassis and I liked that a lot.

I ran the setbacks as well at the race this past weekend, and the truck was a little more predictable. I think the rear extended chassis would be a good option.
