Looking for ideas on getting more weight transfer/ski lift out of an 08 m series skid. Possibly remounting, shock valving or the G-mod? Thanks

Putting a CE 2.5" track on it is an easy way to get the skis in the air! In addition to drilling the front mount on the tunnel and dropping the skid down. Those are the only two things that made any differance for me.
You loose some deep powder performance and will need to make some adjustments to gain stock ski pressure for the trails doing that tho! Works good with some SLP powder pro's!
The Geo mod on the rear mount didnt really do much for the ski lift but did make for a slightly smoother trail ride. I moved mine back to stock.
Ditch that stock Camo 2.25" for sure!
The M8 needs more hp to get the skis up in the air!

I dropped mine, and it catches at times and took a chunk out of the rail tip.
Luckily it didn't stab.

Lighten up the front end and add more ponies, i have trouble keeping mine down sometimes with just the stock challenger.
Ok I might have been a little misleading here. This is in a Nytro. I have anti stabs since the Yam driveshaft is jambed so far up. I think I will try lowering the front mount some and cross my fingers. I thought that alot of m8 dudes were revalving due to the lack of transfer and to get rid of the slow rebound of the stock float? Hmm.......Maybe I just need 12 psi and a good track!

Revalving the skid was not for transfer but as you stated, slow rebound. The float skid from the factory had too small of port holes for the fluid to pass thru fast enough to work properly. Putting the larger ports in allowed the suspension recovery to keep up with the demand allowing it to work properly.
I would look into a stiffer mid spring, or better yet something progressive (front shock on skid).
I know my 1000 could use a little stiffer spring.

Thanks guys. Does Carver sell a kit to fix the shock?
