Solution needed to keep the Raptor front end down

I need some advice on how to keep the front end of a raptor down when hill climbing. I have heard that aftermarket tires would help, but I think that would cause the quad to get more traction and make the front end lift even more while accelerating. Any comments or suggestions would help. Thanks

If you are not hitting big jumps soften up your front suspension and stiffen the rear.
the weight transfer will change so it won't let it lift as easy. But you still need to lean forward.
We've done this on a few 690 raptors with a 14 front sprocket and it helps...
