You shouldn't drive around in conditions like that or on dirt/washboard roads with the AHC set to full comfort. Can lead to the rear end skipping. Turn it up to the 2nd or 3rd stiffness for those conditions and you should notice a difference in body control. Applies to AHC rigs only.

Could you please explain a little more why AHC in softest setting would cause "rear end skipping" on dirt/washboard surfaces? I usually switch to the softest setting when on mild off road surfaces, especially when I want to carry some speed.

Because at full soft there is very little damping force. You can feel it if you hit washboard while in a turn. A lot of people do as you do but IMO it's the wrong thing to do. I go stiffer when the roads get bad to maintain body control.
