My 17 LTX-LE only has a Max spool 16 for around 270ish, I am told.
But yes in the right situations, I too feel that rear suspension squatting and staying there for a second or two.
That only occurs if full throttle, and landing over next high speed roller, that is also pointed up hill!
Only reason that is happening with my sled, is in the shock adjustments.
I usually adjust and leave all shocks in same setting, whereas it does everything just the way I want, with exception to my rear shock. Set on 1 it is sweet. Set on 2 and no squatting at all anytime, but it beckons me to just ride harder and it is a bit stiff for my 215 frame.
So, front shocks on 2, springs loose as can be without allowing any looseness when front end is off the ground.
Front suspension shock on 2, spring has 1 1/4” Of thread so showing.
Rear suspension shock on 1 or 2 as explained, spring on 1.
I allow for most collapse with transfer blocks.
And my straps are on second hole.
Going on my 5th season with this sled, so I have tried many many different settings, and I don’t screw with settings anymore, except for that rear shock setting of 1 or 2. 3 No way!
Now if I added more power, things would certainly change all around!
