My 2002 has the OHLINS front shocks, stock ski's with Woody's 8" carbides. I set the spring's up loose, then tightened the lock nuts, damper set at the middle position. I set up the MONO's spring as per instructions so it has approx. 2-3" of sag (measured at the bumper) with me on it. Sled rails and does not dart... hope that helps!
