Hi all i have a 08 Nitro that im trying to get the suspension set up. it has the Fox air shocks in the front.

What im looking for is advise on simple things like :
if i increase or decrease the air pressure in the front what should i expect.

also in the rear going up or down in the shocks what should i expect?

as it sits right now there seems to be too much down pressure on the front. i say this because the wear bars are wearing flat in front of the carbides.

any help you can give would be great.


Thank you

What kind of changes are you looking for?

The excess ski pressure on fhe front of the ski is because of how the shim is laid out, this is to keep it from darting in theory.

im looking to move some of the weight back but keep the bite in the turns.

sorry about the delay, ive been out of town

could let the limiters out a wee bit, honestly tho anything you do to increase transfer is gonna cost you bite in the corners. Or atleast it'll prevent you from being able to throttle on early in the corner without running wide.

No worries on the delay.

right now in order to get it to stand up in the front for the powder i have the front shocks pumped up. but its like having pogo sticks on the front of the sled, but if i soften them up is like a plow going thru the snow.

then again as it sits now with the stiffer shocks in the front end
going thru the trails if i just tap the throttle it wants to lift and become very difficult to control. i know there needs to be some give and take, but i can not find a happy medium

thanks again

You're not alone in that inability, to be honest. It sucks, but that's just part of the deal with those sleds. If you get it set-up well enough that it wants to hook the front up and some weight transfer on the rear, it transfers forwards when you let off and gets incredibly loose on corner entry. Not fun at all, it's not a controllable brake slide, it's an out of control engine braking slide that you can only "sort out" by powering on. at which point it carries the skis and you're understeering.

not fun at all.

I've not yet found a set-up on that skid that works worth a shit if you're anything less than balls deep in it.
