thanks for the help, i wondered about lowering the front, and what do you mean by having my shock "revalved". i mean i understand revalving, but what do i tell the guy doing the work to do with it. should it be someone familiar with what the 07 skid needs, or can i tell him what i need it valved for? And also what other evils will i get by losing some ski pressure. I'd rather have a rough ride and not trench alot, if i'm going to be trenching just to lose a little ski pressure, not sure i want that either!
There you go your already on the Merry Go Round.
Altering skid position changes attack angles.[Remember dropping the skid is not a drop and roll of the drive system] So you lower the rear to compensate. In the end you end up with the same problem ,just now your tippier if thats a word. You also get more pronounced wieght in the rear on acceleration. That stiff rear shock will drive the track to where you dont want it to go.The design of the rear scizzor has chitty compensating abilities, because of that it doesn't require rebound abilities. It's always in bladder blowing mode.
The fox shock on the rear 07 skid is a piece of junk, sure you can revalve it. All you really accomplish is now you will have a little less of a piece of junk.
The front shock needs to be more than singularly rated. It first needs to flex easily to the initial throttle to get up on the snow, yet it need s to dampen with required. That stock shock will never accomplish that act.
Shocks need to be multi spring rated and valved for the wieght of cargo. Or have dampening and compensating adjustments.
We think the front shocks need this also so the whole suspension works properly together.
Not to say that certain things wont make it better, but the 07 skid is a platform which is near impossible to make efficent.
If I was you I'd save myself some heartache and think about a after market skid. Or you can get your spark plug wrench out and use the 3 position torsion spring adjustment LOL How mechanically barbaric.
