Layed down front track shock.

What is the advantage of the shock in the laid down position? Geared up I weigh 250-260 range. Would you recommend it. I do have the heavier springs in the rear.
 
My understanding is that the effectively less pressure on the front allows the skid to rise up and create a lower approach angle. This lets the sled climb up on the snow quicker and provides a larger footprint quicker.
 
I have mine laid down as well. It hops up on top like no other. It reduces the approach angle dramatically but in the process adds a ton of ski pressure. Oh by the way I'm about 210 geared up and have my rear springs in the middle position.

here is the front arm. the front track shock bolts into the center two plates with out the bolts shown.

Stock the shock is in the upper hole, move it to the lower.

This picture is of the front arm inverted correct? So the holes would simply be from a bottom view now.
 
I tried this on my Dragon and hated it, thought the sled felt like a snow plow. Not sure if it climbed better or not but it did not transfer weight and pop the front end up out of the snow in this position. Some guys sure seem to like it better though.
