Skid movement for best traction?

[FrankTheTank]

Im longtracking a Rush 800 -12 121" to 144" with new rails and Im trying to figure out the best mounting points and settings for it.

I want good traction in deep snow and want it to climb up on the snow as good as possible.

Ive done the first ride now and it has potential, maybe not as good as the Switchback Assault 144" EZ-Ryde that I had before, but good enough to keep working on!

Question to you skid gurus?
Ive got alot of movement in the skid right now, good or bad?
As soon as the track start to move, the front of the skid moves down and the rear moves up, alot more than a normal skid.
Is it good or bad?
Will that make it climb ontop of the snow, or digg down?

I will try to shorten the limiterstrap, but I dont want to lose to much travel, beacuse I like to beat it up!

If it doesnt work, I can move the mountings for the front and rear arm.
Any good ideas?!

Thanks!
