looking for baseline setup suggestions. i saw some in the FAQ's but my 11 does not have comp/ rebound setting on the center shock and only a comp adjustment on the rear shock. also loking for front end baseline setting as well. i'm roughly 175 in full gear. thanks guys. i also noticed that this sled as a rear limiter strap.

I have an xtx and had my shocks revalved but I am sort of close to the same settings as nytro11tom but...I have 2.5" of threads showing on front shocks w/ compression at 6 clicks (from full soft) and rebound at 3 clicks (from full soft). Limiter straps are set at stock, torsion springs at medium and transfer rods set at 3/4 full. Rear shock compression at 4 clicks (from full soft). The center shock is the one you really want to play with. If hard steering...add more preload. If its stiff at your feet...take some preload out. IF it bottoms at your feet..more preload. If it bottoms at your butt...add compression in rear shock. You should be fine having torsion springs set at med. My sled rails set-up like this and takes the bumps well. A little stiff in the stutters but the FX Nytros are known to be a bit on the stiff side.
