im finding that my sled is overly tippy now i dont have the sway bar but am runnin fox float 2s with about 90psi in them but i do have a set of worn out torsion springs.. so im wondering if that would cause the sled to be overly tippy im plannin to get the timbersled rear setup but want to know if i am barking up the wrong tree with the rear end. i love the power of these sleds but it gets tough to side hill or turn on a hill when its this tippy thanks 4 the help

I think you are right one with what you are thinking. I have the timbersled and I installed the spacers on top to take weight off the skis and My sled was tippy as hell. I removed the spacer to increase weight on the skis and it worked perfect.
You might try tightening up your front strap a little for now to put more pressure on your skis.

i was wondering what effect havin a really saggy rear would have on the sled tippy characteristic the other thing i was thinkin was if one torsion spring was softer than the other what that would do to the sleds ride.. on another note r the 900s perticularly tippy or is it the whole generation of sled since from what i can tell on the whole the suspension r the same
IQ chassis is tippier, which works better for turning in the Powder. If your front track shock is good and your back springs are bad then they are even more tippy. Same situation if your front ski shocks are week.
I think a lot of people make them even more tippy by trying to take all the weight off the skis so they turn easier too.

thats part of the reason i was leanin towards the timbersled set up then theres infinate numbers of spring tensions on both front and rear with the floats making tuning on the trail simple for all situations one of my biggest problems is trying to get a good all around setup since i come across alot of harder pack off camber riding and trying to get enough seat time to find what works
thanks 4 the help do u have any recomendation 4 setup of this system and what can i expect from this i wont have funds till summer unfortunately so im gonna have to wait till next season to try it out
Now is the time to buy Timbersled stuff. They put it on clearance every summer.
The ride is much more plush than stock and will float across tracks other have cut and hardly be affected at all.
Right now I am running mine with no spacer on top 1/2 inch on bottom, I may go bay to 1/4 on bottom. 70 psi in front shock and 145 in rear. I'm going to try to add the 1/4 top spacer to the rear slide after I get the Fox Float Evol front shocks installed.
I weigh about 210 with gear on.

thanks i was just on there website and saw there on sale.. im gonna be lookin 4 some side jobs 2 free up some cash so i can go ahead and order one up. im about the same weight so it gives me a starting point.. how did u find it reacts on harder packed snow when it come to side hilling and turning up hill
Ride is so much better on hard packed snow that it is unbelievable. Turning uphill on hard packed snow is not so good on mine because I still have the stock shocks on the front. I just got a set of fox Float Evols to go on the front of mine and I am hoping that helps. I don't have a sway bar either and I have a timbersled 40 inch front on mine.
