Default shock weight oil help!!

I have the t-maxx aluminium shocks turned upside down on my tlt. I have is I run 15 weight all the way around with losi yellow springs on front and red losi springs in back. I use to run 25 weight all around. My problem is when I f;ex the rear tire stays on the ground, and when I crawl it I flip sometimes because I don't have all the tires on the ground, please help!

I tried running 15 once. I think it was actually TOO thin. It seemed like it didn't have enough lubrication to keep the o-rings in the shocks from sticking to the shock shaft. I swapped back to 30 and all is well.

I run losi yellow springs up front, with 20wt oil. Right rear is 35wt oil, and a traxxas Stampede front spring, Left rear 50wt oil, ans the matching stampde spring. I think I got this set up from BENDER??
