2017 Rmk Assault Handling

[Adam2zl]

Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone has any experience with suspension setup for a 2017 Rmk Assault. I am planning to use it as a crossover sled, we do get alot of snow here which is why I choose the 155/ 3 inch track. The sled is set up to factory right now. When I turn I have alot of ski pressure, and when I get to the middle of the turn it seems to want to push the outside ski down and roll.
Is this because of not having a sway bar , or too much preload on the rear track shock?
Thanks

Not having a sway bar will make it want to roll easier. Have you adjusted the suspension or is it still at factory settings?

It is set all to factory settings, I just found it a little unnerving to loose the front end like that, and was wondering if that was the nature of the beast. I will try to stiffen the ski shock spring preload, and maybe loosen the rear track shock.
Is there any sway bars available for this sled?

Check the buy and sell. Im sure someone has stock front end parts they want to sell.

What sway bar would I be looking for?
The arms are different then a rmk

Stiffening the front shocks will raise the front end, making your problem worse. Lower both ends would help. Stiffer shock setting will slow the process some what. Swaybar is your best bet.
