Apex XTX front shock pivot arm

[02ViperMody44]

Had my suspension pulled apart, on my '13 Apex XTX, for a couple of months, due to having sent out my shocks for rebuild and other "necessities", when upon putting it back together, the front of the skid seems very stiff and doesn't really compress much with a jack under the front of it. Just want to confirm that the pivot arm is setting in the skid correctly. I don't know if it is because the shocks are freshly rebuilt, or if the suspension is binding. Just want to make sure she is right. I don't recall having as much of an issue trying to get my grease gun in to grease the pivot arms fittings, like I did after assembly I know the track is dirty!!
Just looking for second opinion.
Thanks in advance
