I put Ti springs of the 04 king cats, alot lighter, 1" longer. Plus the RCS Ti decal on the spring looks cool on the front of the sled.

my 03 mountain had dual rate springs, I still have them in the shop, maybe somebody put the wrong ones on it but thats what it came with. and if the 03 had 2.6 then and I put 2.3,s on why are the 2.3,s so much heavier and stiffer.

How does the rate of the Ti Cat springs compare?

The debate about straight rate vs progressive got my attention so I had to go pull the shock cover and snap a photo (see below). It apears as if type787x might be correct and somebody pulled a fast one on snowy1. By looking at this picture it apears to me the sled came with straight rate springs. I snowchecked this sled in March '02 and haven't done any spring changes since I took delivery.
Frosty, as for the difference between the mtn and shorties. The shorties have a 9" travel front vs. our 7" travel acording to the '03 Specs in my brochure (yep I still have it) the dealer gave me when I snowchecked the sled. I believe the warrior has the same front end geometry as the 121". They all are 40 mm dia. HP gas shocks though ( I think).

I checked a buddy,s 03 and he has the strait rate springs on his so it looks like me and Trxster got different springs on are,s for some reason, but the 2.3,s from pioneer are alot heaveir and stiffer than the stock strait rate springs as well, here is a pic you can see there,s alot more coils and heavier.
