Hello guys I did an extension on my phazer making it a 136" track with the tunnel extension aswell. I noticed on the trails now my sled is very back end heavy and not steering properly in the corners. An Example would be I would have the skiis turned fully one direction but the sled would still point straight it was very annoying on the trails and dangerous going into the corners especially with others coming the opposite way....what would be a solution to fix this problem ? Any ideas ? Thanks.
 
You have a pile of track on the ground now. Pull up the limiter straps on the center shock 1 or 2 holes or you can soften the center spring and let the rear skid sit in more. If you running the stock skis, more aggressive skis will also help.
 
I'll try that, thanks a lot for the help. I'm currently on the stock skiis also so that's kinda a problem I would assume.
 
If you don't want to get new skis try some aggressive carbide. Shapers always worked well for me.
 
Try some slim jim dual carbide runners. I also added MTX ski's which have a much deeper keel.

Yes, I stretched my Phazer with a 144" track and I am running the setup that Mr Sled mentions above. I loosened up the front skid shock or center shock spring until it is loose, pulled in the limiter strap a couple holes and lowered the front end by running low PSI in my Floats. My Phazer with the 144" track and no studs corners like its on rails. G.B.

2X.

I run MTX skis on mine and didn't have to change anything in the skid.

Which model did you start with? I stretched a GT skid and I know they have softer springs than the FX.
