All the way out on all my M's & my crossfire. I've tried sucking them up a bit, bleh.

I like them out as much as possible. Too much ski pressure tends to plow in the powder and create a loose feel to the rear in the corners. By letting out the strap to match the aggressiveness of the ski, it lightens the front and allows the sled to power-slide through the corners.
Depends on the conditions and the sled. A combination of the entire rear skid setup is what makes the setup work. I have run it with the limiters all the way in and would still wheelie like a SOB, now I got em about halfway out and the rear of the skid pretty stiff, holds the skis on the ground pretty good while climbing, but isnt a plow to ride around on. ideally I like them as far iout as possible while still keeping reasonable ski lift. which is usually just enough tension in them with the sled sitting flat it starts to pull the front of the rails up ever so slightly.
I like the feeling of light skis so have always ran mine out.

I have always ran mine out all the way, I tend to like a little ski lift when riding
i rode with em all the way out once.. worked great, until i was on my back!!! such is the nature of the power game.. got em pretty dang loose on my old 700 151.. hangs the skis nice and the thing is just so freaking light to blast around on, seems to help em sidehill TONS as well.
All the way out Ruffy...
well, all the way out is how I have been running, but that coupled with a stiff front track shock and a loose setup rear shock is giving me a bad approach angle in the soft stuff.
take a look at this pic.
I guess I could just soften up the front shock a bunch and maybe stiffen up the rear as well? Or it could just be the angle. I noticed that mine does look a lot steeper compared to m sleds, but then again, those seem to squite a bit of sag as well.
The skid is a KMOD skid GEN 1 skid, FYI. Thanks for everyone's help and thoughts.

i run mine all the way out with my front track shock layed down all the way on my assault, i think it transfers perfect for my riding style. if i want to wheelie i just move the track shock to stand up. here a quick vid of how it works for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuFlBMrZzsk
