I run a spare tire and did green springs and 30wt oil and it made a world of difference. It's dialed in awesome

Orange springs rear w/ 20wt Associated
Stock Grey springs front w/30wt Associated
Stock pistons
Feels good to me.
But that's me. 8)

PS. Battery weight has everything to do with it.

Which Orange springs? The stock ones on the Yeti are supposed to be their Orange spring per the manual (gray, but the ends painted orange).

All springs are grey. Color on ends is the only distinguishable marking to verify ratings. "thumbsup"

Edit: My springs came grey, no color marking. I purchased orange springs after the fact.

Interesting, I'll have to check mine now. I know the manual puts the orange springs on stock, but if they aren't marked who knows what they are.

I have 350 oil in rear with stock springs and 600 in front with stock springs. Front is still way to bouncy. Rear is just about right. May try some different pistons in the front shocks to get more dampening.

Also running a 2200 3s lipo.

How much oil is in shock?
Are they 100%, 90% or 75% full or something else?

Read these for some understanding:

1)Learn from the Pro's: TLR's Adam Drake on building perfect shocks - RC Car Action

Hello Yeti builders. First sorry my bad english, im from Finland.
I have little shock problem/question.
Have you put any rebound on Yeti's stock shocks? I made my shocks just like the manual say's (shock arms 100% out and put oils in etc..) and rear shocks feels very very hard, fronts feels smoother.

If your shocks are too hard you should take them off, unscrew the shock cap, compress the shock until the piston is Almost to the top of the fluid--and while holding it compressed, screw the cap back on. Doing so will give very little to no rebound.

Just remember when a shock compresses the shaft adds it's volume to the fluid.

Good luck hope this helps.
