m8 ski lift

[tavis43]

did some work to the sled this year and it rips hard, but the sled wants to stand strait up on neerly every climb.
is there anything i can do with the suspension to help this? i wend over backwards yesterday, it was a little crazy.

Loosen your preload on your front shock in the skid! Also you could put more air in the rear shock as well. I run mine right at 150psi. But I bet your front skid shock is cranked right up.

Tighten up the limiter strap.

Any update if either of these was a fix? I seem to have the opposite problem. My 09 M8 is super heavy on the front end, in anything other then powder it takes a lot of effort to steer. I increased the preload on the front skid shock and relaxed the preload on the ski shocks and it seemed better. Did this again and waiting to try it out tomorrow and see how it goes. My limiter strap is out all the way as well. I think it will also be better in some fresh deep pow...

I am just wondering for those running coil over springs on their 09 M8 how relaxed are the springs on the skis? I have about 2.5" of threads on the bottom below the spring now. Thanks for your help,EF

I just had my 09 in revy in good snow and it worked awesome. i could pop the front up but it would consistantly lay flat with the ski's a few inches off the snow. I could beleive how easy it was to manuver. I will look at my suspension tonight and post how it is setup cuz for me it worked perfect.

i let off the pre load on the front shock and have learned to ride it better, it gets better everytime i ride it
