I have done a bunch of changes to my sled.
I changed the front shocks from stock to Fox Floats.
Now the sled sits on the front of the skid and there is a gap at the rear.
I was wondering if there is an adjustment I can do to the rear of the skid or just pull the limiter straps up to make it sit flat or both????

you guessed right. sounds like the front limiters need to be sucked up a bit and the front skid spring needs to be backed off some.

The front spring is the key. Loosen that or you will be teeter-tottering down the trail. That can be thrilling when you let off on the gas, the skis come down and the sled darts over into the oncoming lane.
Personally, I am not so quick to use the straps for this adjustment. (Why give up suspension travel?) I get the spring right first. Then, if I want to change ski pressure a small amount, I use the straps and/or transfer rods. If I can't get the right ski pressure with small strap or transfer rod adjustments, then I am back to the rear suspension's front spring.
