We rode up in the Tug Hill area yesterday. Trails were whooped up real bad. At a stop my buddy mentioned my sled looked to be sitting real low. I noticed the rear end was all over the place on the trail and was bottoming out alot which it never did before. I looked at it and it is sitting so the running boards are evan with the ground. When I lift up on the bumper it comes up to what I think is normal ride height. I couldn't really see anything wrong but it was also packed good with snow. When I pull up and push down on the bumper there feels like way to much play in it. I would guess it`s the shock but it only has 630 miles on it. I bought the sled brand new last year. Any Ideas what I should look for or test? Thanks.

It may have just broke in - you may need to re-adjust the suspension. BETHEVIPER has a great right up on how to do this and a link to it in his signature.

Viper set up
I have an 02 Viper and she sits 17" in the front and 21.5 in the rear, no weight on the sled and measured bottom of bumper to ground on flat floor. I followed BTV set up and works great for trail. Check your front "W" arm and make sure it's not cracked, ( common issue with the pro skid ) good luck

Blue,
I have 17.5" from trailer bed to bottom of the bumper. WOW that`s 4" lower than yours. I gotta clean out the suspension. It`s packed with snow right now. Could it be the snow and ice build up? My local dealer is closed today so I don`t know when I can get it in but would like to try and fix it if I can.
