Need some advice and/or help. I have noticed that my rear suspension, when i push down on it it, it compresses like it should but it doesn't rise back up. i have to actually pull on the grab bar to umcompress the rear shock and spring. i have took the skid out and am in the process of replacing some siezed bearings and idler wheels. i have got the spring off the shock and the shock is working fine. WHAT TO DO NOW? Stock spring is in the machine. i was wondering if a "Big Boy" spring would help since i am 230lbs in street clothes

That is the normal rebound for the rear suspension. A " Big Boy" rear spring will help. However, if you rode the sled that way last year and didn't have any bottoming issues, you probably don't need a new spring. Remember, the spring will be stiffer in the winter with sub-zero temps.

clean all shafts and regrease the sled with all new bushings. It will surprise you. If you find anything bent, I have all the parts for a rear skid but the rails. Max
