The rear of my sled seems to sit low. The track is very close to the rear shock mount. I have noticed that the limit straps in the front are not doing anything, they are 2 holes away from the cross brace. I installed a new rear shock over the fall. Will cinching down the front "pivot" the skid so it sits more level? It seems like those plastic adjusters that the wire springs sit in(drawing a blank on the name) are on the highest setting. Also will moving the v bracket that sits furthest toward the back of the skid do anything. There are 3 holes and it is in the middle hole. It was moved at one time-I can see the rust mark where the bolt was.
Thanks
 

thare should be a plastic adjuster for the rear spring tension. one each side. this plastic adjuster has 3 or 4 settings. it turns like a cam to adjust spring tension in turn might raise or lower the rear of the suspension. the front limit strap should have some slack in it when the sled is resting normally on the ground. this strap will tighten up when the sled is in motion from a dead start to "transfer" weight for traction. the three holes for the "sissor" determines how easy the rear part of the suspension will colapse under weight. the front hole is the easiest and the rear hole is the stiffest. hope this helps...
