Mt. Viper Suspension

When I was still using a Yamaha skid, I ran mine in the lower hole. Helps in deep snow, for running board clearance. This is most noticeable in wet heavy snow.
 
OK, so if you go with the lower rear mounting hole, what is the best set-up to lessen ski pressure? Mine is in the lower hole, front straps all the way out, front skid shock stiffer, OEM transfer rods 50/50 with me on it, and the front of the skid hits the ground first. It does amazing things in the powder, especially climbing. On trail is pretty good too.

transfer enhancement kit or a non coupled rear suspension is a must, if you just put the suspension in lower holes it will have a strange geometry, if you imagine ski-front -frontskidshock- rearshock, the skid will not be flat on the ground the rear will dig through the snow :o|
 
Getchuck,
I don't think that is the case on mine. I swapped out the OEM powder skis for the simmons, which are lower, and that raised the back of my skid. Using the lower mounting hole basically set it back to spec.

I had the rear of the skid in the lower holes and simmons skis last year and had a lot of ski pressure.
Dropped the middle to the lower hole this year, and put on a set of the new yami powder skis and now I don't have the ski pressure, almost too much lift.
Gonna tighten up my front straps a bit. After running the yami skis this year, I won't pay the price for simmons, they are twice as good as the simmons, my opinion.
 
I believe that the skids are different on the '05 Mountain (mine), so the set up is different as well.
