i guess i'm an idiot i can't seem to understand how transfer rods work. if you lengthen them do you hook up better but hurt ride or the other way around? i've changed mine a number of times but don't notice any difference. i can't get my viper to hook up at all.

Adjustable transfer rods change the coupling interaction with the two shocks in the rear skid. The less gap between the upper and lower rods equals more coupling. More coupling gives a better ride, less ski lift and less weight transfer. The more the gap (control rods turned "up") the worse the ride, more ski lift and more weight transfer.
I can notice a significant difference from the stock setting to maximum transfer. Set for maximum transfer I pull the skis off the ground a couple of feet (depending on traction) but the ride is really rough. It is a lot softer, but seems to have more "bucking action".
I run my rods at stock setting, unless I want to drag. Also, I have heard that the "W" arm is damaged more easily with the rods set to max transfer, as there is more bottoming on the front shock.
Hope this helps!
