I have been playing around with my rear skid trying to keep the front of the sled down on big climbs. I am getting ideas from different people. One idea was to put something on the rear dampener/shock type things. Make it so they cant collapse. So I cut PVC pipe down to size, and hose clamped them on. The idea is to make the rear skid work like an M 10. Has anyone else tried this and did it work for you? Or bend anything?

Just run it through the stroke before you go ride.
I ran some pvc spacers on the transfer adjustment rods to help. I think you can only go approx 1/2" more before it starts to bind. Just get a fatty on the back and squash it before you ride to make sure nothing binds.

It will help hold the front end down but the ride is junk....I tried everything and finally gave up.

what do u mean 1/2" more? 1/2" pvc pipe or 1/2" of travel before it binds?

1/2" piping
I installed the piping above the transfer adjustment nuts where the white teflon washer normally sits. This makes the skid couple faster thus reducing transfer. I think you can only go about 1/2" though or the ride quality really suffers. Any more and its like riding a farken tank!
