whats it feel like when a track shock goes on 2008 D7, not sure which though?

sled felt weird coming out today on fresh groomed trail and seems to sit a little low in the back?? was pretty cold today here riding so maybe that has a difference on the air shocks?

Also thought I heard some noise in the tunnel when landing off powder puffs everywhere like the track slapping or flopping? not a clue here

when the rear is blown it feels like your feet are hitting the ground when you land or go over any sort of bump

If it simply sitting low, you need bigger/newer springs, the shock controls the rate at which the spring moves, the springs carries the weight of the sled and it will be the culprit if the sled sits low all the time. Now if your sag was ok but you were bottoming all the time or the sled bounces in the rear that would be a shock issue. If you and whatever you are carrying are anywhere north of 200 I strongly suggest larger springs.

also I am only on the second spring pre load setting, should i change this? will it make a diiference now that the sled has 2700KM's on it they must just be sagging a bit?

His shock went bad, we were able to tell by having the 2 sleds side by side in the garage, pushed down on the rear suspension, and his would pop back up rapidly, and mine would go a lttle more slowly.

Took his rear shock out and it was definitely "dead', pitted shaft, gas had apparently leaked out.

Hope this helps
