Tighten your limiter straps

If you want to lower the front end, you probably should look at very WEAK front springs, OR, shorter SHOCKS.
This is why:
The spring holds up the front end, but you cannot loosen the spring any more than the point where it would be SNUG when the ski is HANGING (zero preload). Having it at zero preload will still hold the front end up. If you use a weaker spring, it will compress more under the weight of the sled and give you a lower ride. If you use a shorter shock, its obviously shorter.
I'm using 130's for springs on the front of mine (not sure what that is in metric like your numbers are). At zero preload, the front end sits somewhat lower than it was before, but not much.

I would do a combination of the limiter straps and the transfer rods. Won't "lower" the front end, however, it will put more weight on the skis.

I would hate to have transfer problem too!
Tightening the straps a little doesn't hurt transfer that bad guys?
What are you doing with the transfer rods?

Why do you guys think i installed ski-doo precision skis and simmons would do the same thing,no keel,closer to the ground,big keel higher up in the air,now this is part of the handling plus of these skis.
