Curious what I can do about the rear suspension. It seems to squat. Feels almost bottomed when standing on the sled. I've heard of people getting the rear shock re valved. Will this solve my problem? Also I have a skidoo Jerry can mounted right behind the seat but sled seems to squat even with Jerry empty.

No it doesnt. I ride ski doo. Do you have Air shocks,Coil spring or Torsion? Proclimb has Fox Floats dont they?
If they are air shocks you need to run more air pressure. If you have coils or torsion springs, you need to run stiffer springs.

What PSI are they at? Maybe a seal is gone on your rear shock.

To change the compression and rebound dampening characteristics. How would it effect ride? well that all depends on how you change the valving.
Adding the EVOL chamber on the Floats is a far better upgrade. IMO

Your right....150 max!
Is it mounted correctly? Wrong hole? Bottom mount bracket flipped backwards?.....not even sure if its possible
On Fox's website:
FLOAT stands for FOX Load Optimized Air Technology; our unique and patented FLOAT air springs offer the perfect adjustable spring rate synergy to our refined, oil damped performance.
The spring rate is controlled by air pressure in the main body. Air pressure is infinitely adjustable anywhere from 50 PSI to 300 PSI, making the FLOAT the most progressive and adjustable air shock on the market — zero tools are necessary to change plushness
Maybe Artic Cat uses a cheaper version?? I dont know,, Like I said, I ride Skidoo.... Good luck with your issue tho.

Having sled come with brand name shocks is like buying a vehicle with brand name tires. The OEM gets a great deal, but the valving is to their specs, and built as cheap as possible. Getting the float revalved with fox components, including a high flow piston will help. 300psi is the maximum for a dual stage float shock, added to the remote res after the intial charge is applied to the shock. I suspect your nitrogen charge is low, best to have it serviced by a compentant shock rebuilder. Other choices are the OEM zero pro, evol rear float, EXIT's, Raptor, Elka, or Ohlins, custom built for your weight and riding style.

i had the same problem with my 2010 m8 ... i did the brandt update (re-valve) and got a piggy back put on it and no sag completely different riding .. for the better. Yes arctic cat uses the cheapest valves they can in the shocks so do the re-valve you will be happy . Got mine done in sherwood park at a place called nextech

Carefully remove the Float shock. Now lower it into the garbage can. Order a Zero Pro coilover shock from the dealer of your choice. Install Zero Pro. Go ride.
This is a common problem on the ProClimb with Fox Floats. Mine does the same thing. I am 250lb rider.
Call Carl at Nextech in Sherwood Park (780) 991-9741. They will revalve with better internals and spec to your weight/preference. They can also put their adjustable remote reservoir chamber on the shock for an extra $150. Well worth the upgrade. If you do both rears it should be $400-500 with reservoirs.

I plan to do this or upgrade rear suspension with a KMOD conversion for $900. (They re-valve your shocks and return with a kit)
