I've had it re-valved by Pro-Action, swapped the fork springs to .44KG and the shock to 4.9KG. It still seems really harsh in breaking bumps and over tree roots and breaks traction easily even in tacky dirt.
I was contacted by another local susp. guy and he told me he thinks the softer springs are making the susp. pack? I'm not very familiar with it and looking for other options on how to make it work for me.
BTW its a hare scramble bike, I'm 5'10"/ 170LBS, AA class.
Any help would be great, thanks!

Also, have you talked to Pro Action about your issues that you're having, and did they offer and solutions or ideas? I would assume most suspension tuners would stand behind their work, I know we have a 100% guarantee you'll love it or we'll either revalve it for you for free until you are happy. I know they have a completely different theory on suspension tuning than we (Race Tech) do, but they also still have happy customers or their doors wouldn't be open. I would start there and give them a chance, you believed in them once. They should be happy to help you out.
If you can't get happy or they aren't willing to work with you, then I'd look elsewhere.
On the spring rates, Race Tech is recommending a .457 fork spring. On the shock side, we're recommending a 5.376.
If you have any questions you'd like me to run through our tech support department or just if you'd like some things verified, don't hesitate to shoot me an email. chris@racetech.com I hope you get your bike sorted and comfy!
Since I started using this method my bike's ride much better. The problem really came down to the fact that me moving my ass 1" on the seat had me setting up my sag just all wrong.
Good luck!
While sitting (and attempting to be in the same position each time) there was a large variance.
We now test sag with the rider standing on the pegs, not gripping with the knees and hands off the bars. This gives a measurement within a mm.
