well

You need to set the front end sag first. On a short travel front it needs to be 15%. Pic the front clear up until the skis are just barely touching. Measure the height of the bumper. Let the front down, compress it, and remeasure. should be about 15%. From there set the rear. Maxdlx

set up

As I told you before 3 is the wrong set up for the trail. You have become comfortable with this overtime, but your handling would be better if you went up a line or so. In addition, you rear end wont bottom so easy, and will not sag so much.

As far as your set up--do as max says, and cotact Bruce at Pioneer Performance with further questions...after all he is in your back yard, and taught the boys at MAXX
