Rear Suspension Set up?- 2010 M8 SP

[Shift_Fast]

So I am wondering what you guys are running the front-rear skid shock (zero pro) at for turns in? Right now it looks as I have about 3 threads showing from the bottom (aprx 10mm up from where the threads start, to the bottom on the lock collar). Shock is in the rear hole and limiter straps all the way out. Im also running the geo mod with about 90psi in the rear float.

It seems like I have too much sag and that Im always riding sacked out in the rear. Wondering if I need to turn the zero pro up more, but does that do anything for the "ride height" or sag for your rear skid?

Trying to get this thing dialed in with what I got but not sure how the zero pro and limiter straps come into play with dialing in the rear or if they are more for the front ski pressure?

Any info would be great.

If you want your sled to pop up out of the snow and handle the way it should I highly suggest spending the money on the Chris Burandt rear suspension Upgrade kit from Fox. They had something like 18,000 hard miles of testing this kit and it makes a world of difference in the way this sled handles.

You can pick the kit up at any dealer, and have your favorite shock guy do the install. You can get the kit plus install for around $275.00

I hear you there, and something like that kit is in for the summer mods. I am just trying to work with what I got for the rest of the season.

Any help on if the front -rear skid shock is used for front ski pressure primarily or what part it plays in the rear? And where the limiter straps come into play in the rear?

SHIFT IF YOU DONT HAVE THE FRONT ARM DOWN TO THE BOTTOM HOLE YOUR WAY TOO SOFT W/ YOUR ZERO. YOU NEED TO HAVE AT LEAST 7-10 THREADS SHOWING.
IF YOU DROP YOUR FRONT ARM TO THE LOWER HOLE (WHICH YOU SHOULD DO) YOU COULD BE BETWEEN 3-5 DEPENDING ON YOUR WEIGHT. CHECK OUT MY NEW THREAD I JUST POSTED ABOUT THIS (GEO/ELVIS MOD UPDATE 2)

OH YEA LIMITER STRAPS ARE ALWAYS ALL THE WAY OUT

You're talking about moving the coil zero pro shock to the more forward/lower mount location? What's the effect of that?

I run 150 psi in my fox float and it works really well in the powder that way. Sucks on the trail but I love it once I get off.

Has anyone put the Burant kit in their M7?

What Elvis is say is to move the arm to the lower hole in the tunnel. You will need to drill this out from the inside of the tunnel out.
