Front shock difference ?

[Bluebullet]

O.K guys I have tried to get my sled set up to handle better, MY sled is an 2010 APEX LTX GT. I am much better this year after adding tuner skis with 4 in inside and 2 in on outside. I have backed off front springs to where they are as loose as I dare run and my front arm still not even close to parallel to the ground. I have looked at other pics of apexs and almost every else arms look flat except the ones with the GYT shocks with clickers? My sag has been set, my transfer is set just to the min side of half way. Anyway the sled does handle pretty good but I was just wondering if the differance in the front shocks or maybe the 136 long track? Front end toe out set to 1/4 in and aligned. I also noticed all my old sleds ( RX1, Warrior, viper SRX ) the arms were all nice and flat. I feel I am close to my best set up so it's minor tweaks from here.
What do you guys think?

Those A-arms are fairly level imo, or as level as you are going to get GYTR's.

I would also set your transfer to about 1 1/8th inch between the adjustors, pull up your strap one hole then try.

Should make a difference imo but might have to try 2 holes in strap if one doesn't help.

Pic of my Vector with GYTR's lowered as low as they will go.

Irv, Thanks, I have 3 holes showing on my strap so I may try that. my transfer rod is already close to 1 1/8 in. I think I just need a little more pressure on the front. So, The GYTR's are different in length ? different spring?

The GYTR's are 16 1/2" center to center, same as the standard shocks. I have them on both my sleds, and my A arms look like yours and Irv's. I also have the 13mm sway bar on both. I don't really have any complaint with the ride or handling, with either sled.

The GYTR shocks do not go completely level like the other shocks can, but close enough. Do you have stock swaybar? Because lowering front end is only recommended with thicker sway bar to stop roll.

I run a 13mm bar, if I was to buy another, it would be a 12, this one is a little stiff. if you go stiffer bar, it will make the ride a little harsher but you can drop the sled down. stay away from tightening the limiter on the sled, do it with transfer rod and ride height so you keep fall out suspension travel.

Steve, I have the stock sway bar. I think they changed 2010 front end to a different ski angle or camber set up. ( pretty sure) Not sure what I will do, I am close in handling now so 1 change at a time thinking just playing with the T rod.
I appreciate the ideas guys,
Thanks steve

X2... for a non EPS Apex!

Hated the 13mm on my 07 Attak... love it on the EPS equipped SE!

12mm is probably a good compromise (although I never tried one on my 07 Attak).

FYI I found the stock bar removed from the SE to be about 11.5mm. I could not slide the open end of an 11mm wrench over it and the 12mm wrench was loose.
