i have the 012 Assault 155,originally the skid was located in the lower hole.I talked to a few ppl and was told to move it to the top hole because it'll help the sled for climbing and better boondocking.... the lower hole will make it wheelie and better for jumps..Is this correct?

Yes! IMO, this is absolutely correct!
Locating the Assault skid in the upper hole completely changes how that sled handles. Again, IMO... Much more enjoyable for my style of riding.
Hard to believe how much difference this made! Gosh, its only about 3/4".....?

That is what everyone is saying. How much ski pressue increase did you see after moving it up?
NONE!! Ha, Ha!!
After you moved it up, just curious where about did you end up with the spring adjustment?

Seriously! Depending on conditions, with the skid mounted in the lower position you get INSTANT transfer causing ski lift! Admittedly, if I was riding in hard spring snow I wouldn't care much...
I simply set the springs as recommended in the owners manual and it seems great!

From my experience, YES! Hands down, no doubt about it! IMHO....

did you also let off your front ski springs to loose some sky presure or is it not nessesary?

I set the pre-load of all shocks exactly as recommended in the owners manual.
