I have a 350 19 but I need more traction on the front. I thinking about a different tire or less sag and or lower the fork in the clamps... what do you guys Think? Tire dunlop mx 33, sag 105mm , fork 2 line in the clamps.
Tire wise go with a Hoosier whatever letters are in front 25 and run it at 13.5 psi.

The AER forks tend to ride a little high in the stroke and tend to generate a "feel" of the front end not biting. I struggled with this at first with them, but echo-ing another poster, I found I could ride beyond what "felt" like was the point of grip.
You didn't mention your weight/skill level or what your current fork settings are (PSI/Comp/Rebound). Depending on where you are at with forks settings, I would start there. The upside to the AER is you can lower/raise spring rate in a few minutes and spin the compression clicker while riding to see what helps/hurts.
2) Slightly less sag in the rear
3) Lower the clamps on the forks (raise the forks in the clamps) in 5mm increments
4) Find the sweet spot with fork rebound. I go out several clicks at a time until I have trouble steering into a rut under braking, then go back in until that condition discontinues.
5) Watch your form in turns. Slide up on the seat, lead with your head over the crossbar, outside elbow up, inside foot near the front axle, weight the outside peg with the ball of your foot.
