Sled was sitting in heated garage for a week went to sit on it and it was a low rider.(I thought it may last longer than 700km)...

your shock only limits how fast your suspension can collapse or rebound. your springs are what hold your sled up.

Is it on Dolly's

skis were on rollers this is how i noticed it sitting lower. Springs are fine. Shock moves with no dampening what so ever up and down...

So what's the solution to this? I had this happen in the Hassler a few weeks ago, just kept on riding and it fixed itself. Heavier springs?

Ask your dealer for the 287 and 289 rear torsion springs.

I may go with the heavier springs as well...

Your skis ar on rollers and tracks on the ground? Remove rollers and then see. You've changed the angle of your track is all by having your skis raised

I don't think the rear shocks are of the best quality on these things. They get alot of ice build up on them which means they are getting quite warm. Never noticed that on other sleds. A better quality shock with a remote reservoir would be ideal. Or maybe an air shock.

I dislike air shocks. Too much maintenance requires and a leaking one can ruin a day fast

I have the same problem with the rear shock on my 154 xm. Seems like it comes and goes. Is this normal? If it is sitting level it is fine, but the slightest angle and it bottoms right out. No damping what so ever.
