I should have asked this a long time ago but when I sit on my sled and then get up i still have a gap on the bottom of my transfer rods. They are stock for now but i recently did the viper upgrade thing so i ruling out a junk shock I think. If i lift up the sled off the ground and then sit it down it looks beautiful and so aggressive like i want it too but as soon as i sit on it and get back up it will not come back up all the way by itself. What do you guys think?
you need more spring preload on center shock then. I wouldnt worry about how the sled looks versus how it rides, some "set in" provides a nice ride and your not at the beginning of the rate on the spring. But whatever floats your boat

Yeah, the 1 time i rode this year you might of read that i thought i had a clutch problem. come to find out i had some sort of binding going on in the suspen. After the first 3 miles down the railroad bed we stopped at a crossing and i looked at the sled. i only had about 4 inches of travel and the suspen. was almost completely coupled. at this point something let go cause the track was so loose it looked like it was going to fall off. let me ask you this, does the track tension affect the way the suspen works cause when it was loose like i said the suspension sagged way down. it seem to get better once we readjusted the tension. i put another 200 miles on with no problems except an ocasional bottom out. Most of the guys on here told me crank the center shock preload all the way up which i did and it really feels better but due to lack of snow ive no chance to try it. i also let my limiters out a bit to bring the rear up.
