Alright guys, I have been researching on here to no avail for about 3 weeks now on suspension settings for a 190lb guy. In deep powder it does awful! I ride about 60% trails and 40% powder, but it dips awful in the powder which leads to getting stuck alot! What do I need to do to the stock suspension to do better in powder. I don't want to spend thousands of dollars on aftermarket parts and already have simmons skis which I love on the trails. Any suggestions in easy laymen terms is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

I don't ride powder much, but I think the mountain guys are sucking up the limiter straps to get a better approach angle, and removing the sway bar so you can actually lean these hogs. If you trail ride, you'll want to keep the bar hooked up and just pull out one link bolt when you get ready to go off trail. Maybe soften up the rear skid some, and dial in full transfer too to keep the weight transfered to the rear and off the skis.
