-So, I was up riding in the western U.P. this weekend, and I have a question about the front skid shock.
-I kept bottoming out on the front skid shock, the rear shock was fine.
-Over the summer I got all my shocks rebuilt, and I added stiffer torsion springs and torsion springs spacers, so the rear of my skid isn't bottoming out, or even close to it, but that front shock is bottoming out.
-What can I do to prevent this? What is the best more stiff shock? Or can I get the shock valved to be more stiff?
Thanks in advance.

Is your font shock blown apart? It's very common. On the rtx anyway.

Where is your center shock preload set at? Mines up most of the way. Helps with the heavy steering issue.
