I have a 2016 LTX DX . Wondering how my front end should be sitting ? Should my A arms be sitting level when I am sitting on it. Seems like the front end is low to the ground. Not to my liking because it was plowing a lot of snow but that could be the nature of this suspension. How much should I crank my springs ?

I've been told a slight angle to them. I changed my out to Fox 2.0 QS3's. Still trying to figure out how stiff to go on the springs.

I always use the “1/3rd with rider on” rule, has worked well over the years form me on all types motor toys. On my Viper I set the front bumper is 3” lower than the fully extended height, and the rear to 4” below fully extended which is roughly 1/3rd the travel. Tweak from those measurements.

Your suspension set-up is essential to having a comfortable and safe ride.I have a 2016 LTX DX . Wondering how my front end should be sitting ?

Thanks for the info. Made some changes today, riding tomorrow to see how the suspension works .
