Following up on Matts tip about letting the clutch out till you JUST feel it starting to engage. This also tightens up the drive line, taking slack out of all the gears (trans, rear, drive shaft). This avoids the shock of the drive train getting hammered when all that slop is suddenly taken up. THAT is what typically is to blame for broken axles and such.

As for air pressure, thats a tricky one. I tried 15 to 18 lbs without success and it felt very squirely at speed. Less is not always better. For my tires 20 plus seems about right.

IRS, I've found, is offers a much better ride on the street than a solid axle. IRS for me, always!
