Impossible to make a leaf car "squat" plus that's not what you want to do anyway. The suspension has got to extend and stay extended to plant the tire and keep it planted. So this would indicate the extension softer to hammer the tire more, especially with lower power level and as stiff on the bump as you can stand to KEEP it separated. If the extension is really lose and also the bump, it will just throw the housing and let it come right back, that's the reason for stiffer compression. Many think loosening the front way off is the way to go, but you have to be careful that it snatches the front up and tops the shocks quick. If it does that you can bet it will spin the instant it tops the shock. So while a lot of travel and maybe weight in the trunk to help percentage is a benefit, super loose front settings will NOT be the hot ticket. Regardless of surface, you still have to CONTROL the front and rear. Super loose everywhere gives no control and will just be action and reaction that you have no control over
