What track do you have on it and what are you using it for?

Are your limiter straps on the front of the skid adjustable?
Is your skid mounted somewhat low so it hangs out of the tunnel a little bit in the rear?

We always drilled out bottom hole for the front mounting hole on the track suspension, dropped the rear mount to bottom hole in bracket and added an additional hole to let limiter strap out slightly more than could be done with the stock holes. Before the days of paddle tracks we also installed the Simmons speed cleats on the track but they had to be replaced each year due to breakage. Cycle Works out of Alberta made a set of cleats that had a lifetime warranty and I started running those instead. You'll want to keep your ski pressure light for the powder so don't preload your rear springs too much.
Do these instructions also go for other sleds in the early 90's like the 400's and 500's. I am trying to set up a 91 400 for my son.
I used to let out the stock front limiter strap as much as you could. Tighten up the rear springs for about 1 1/2" sag, or as light as possible, your going to bottom out on bigger hits. I left the frount mount in the factory hole and dropped the rear down to the lower one. They are pretty old suspensions and there isn't much you can do with them. Yes we used to set up the 4/500's the same way
