I don't see any squat, all I see is separation, but I do see the bouncing Nitroused is talking about.

Great run man!

Put 20# in her in first and you got it!

Yes, it is definitely hitting the tires hard. I think it is too much separation on the hit and then it goes to the right place after the initial bit. I think I'll try moving the lower control arms up a little and see if that helps.

I agree it's hitting them hard.

What are your shock settings like?

It might like that much separation if you can slow down the extension enough to use all of it.

You could also try lowering the rear end a little if you have coil-overs.
