Hi guys just kind of going threw my sled and seeing what I can upgrade. Just threw in a set HID from Rocz and they seem awesome and super easy to install. Was wondering what kind of shocks these are? Are they any good or should I replace? Also any feed back on these skis would be great. I felt like my sled was all over the place when I rode it last year and not taking turns all that great

Thanks in advance

Stock “HPG” shocks…basically unbranded Fox Zero Pro’s cheapened up for AC to use on their sleds.
 
Try a different ski, the new strike ski, curves or C&A’s. the later requires more steering effort. The strike seem to be working good.
 
Any setups you recommend?
I don’t think the ‘14 Vipes had the best valving. If I was you I’d get ahold of @cannondale27 and have a chat with him about your shocks and various options for improvement.
As far as skis go, I’ve never been a fan of the Tuners on the DB sleds, and less so on any PC sled I’ve ridden. Single keel Cat skis, or old style Yammy (single keel) skis with Snowtrackers are your best bet in my opinion.
