So after 6k miles I decided to do some work to the sled. I reBushing the front and rear thanks to Pioneer and replaced the clutch springs again Pioneer. I also added a 6" riser and changed the cables to fix. The riser was a freebe made it at work. Also a new seat Mountain Assult(from a Ty user). I also rebuilt all the shocks (lako.com) I had to buy a Viper rear shock and spring to be rebuilt.

I rode this weekend and got a lot of indside ski lift the front end was real heavy and the back loose. It also seems a bit stiff on studder bumps.

Front Springs at 0 preload. FRA mid, Xfer bars mid.

So here is the question. How do I reduce ski lift and loosen the ski pressure. Also if I goto FRA soft will that help with the studder bumps?

with the higher seat and bars you have raised the center of gravity of the sled, most of it being you. you can lower the front of the skid, back off tension on the ski shocks, install a larger sway bar to reduce roll 12-13mm, and finally use more body english when driving it, leaning, etc.
 
That is what I thought. I have the lager bar and links. I just have to relearn how to throw the sled around again. 10 years and 6k miles later it feels like a new sled
