Basically I am a novice working on sleds. I just put 152 woody's mega bites in and added 6 dooly bars. Well my problem it wants to push in corners really hard if you ride fast it wears you out. I am looking to control the push. If you have any ideas what to do to help i would greatly appreciate the help
Also what would be a good ski to put on it. I was looking at Slydogs. I live in Michigan were the trails get ice, Hard packed, deep powder in the Upper. i only have 500 miles on her.

With all that traction in the rear it is important to increase the traction up front. I would add some Shaper bars for starters. They grip really well.

Another thing that may help, is getting used to the difference in cornering a 2stroke vs 4stroke. Throttle control is crucial on a 4stroke. Dont get in and out of the throttle, keep it steady and smooth.
I run my limiter strap in the Top hole(loose) and the front shock(skis) springs with 0 pre-load.This would typically give you alot of push, but surprisingly it carves pretty well without a chit load of heavy stearing.
Edit Sorry, mis-spoke, I run my limiter strap in the second hole down.

Change out the skis for a set of skidoo pilots. It makes a huge difference. Its the skis that suck.

I don't know about your suspension, but if you have the original type of Dooly's you will get a lot of push...As long as your suspension is set up properly than I would think your cheapest route would be to replace the Dooly's with Deuce Shaper bars, triple points, or Snowtrackers...
