My srx was setup to drag by previous owner, was wondering on spring length in the rear , i can not get any top gap in the transfer rods, nothing is bent or cracked, had the skid out, is it all in adjustments?

i cant get any top gap on my transfer rods
Skid needs to be mounted to adjust for transfer gap....
Do a search: BETHEVIPER suspension setup sticky in tech FAQ and follow all the steps. If you still have the issue something must be bent or broken or rear shock may need rebuild.

skid is back in the sled, nothing bent or broken, i was following his instructions up to this point
What year sled? If 00-02 he may have moved rods to rear holes in rails to keep skis on ground,,, less transfer.....

its a 2000 SRX 700, rods are in the front holes, can get 50/50 gap until I sit on it

You can get the 50/50 gap when you sit on it or you can get the 50/50 gap and if you sit on it the gap is gone on the bottom?

Sounds like you have to increase the preload of the rear shock. With the FRA in the middle position, I set my rear shock which was just rebuilt and revalved by Pioneer with about 1.5 inches of threads showing on the rear shock, front skid shock just tight enough so I can just twist it with the weight of the sled on it, and one inch of threads showing above the limiter strap mounting bracket.
Keep in mind that I changed most all of my skid bushings and it is tight like new. I would like to think that you should be close to 50/50 gap sitting on the sled with these settings.

yes i have a 50/50 gap until i sit on the sled then all the gap is on the bottom. i have quite a bit of preload on the rear spring and my front spring is at 0 preload.
