I was wondering where people with the triple rates in the front and dual rate in the center shock have theres set at with riding time. Hygear has no good instructions on where to set the springs for certain riding conditions or even a baseline, just that increasing tension makes stiffer and reducing makes them softer. Even I could figure that out. Any help would be very much appreciated!!!

Contact Ross at Hygear, I am certain he will be able to provide you with solid baseline for what you are looking for.

i ran the TR fronts last year with no spacers.it was a nite and day differance in handleing.this year i added the medium size spacer just to try it with a little more ride height.I also installed the duel rate center shock spring (over the summer)with the small or medium spacer, but havent rode it yet.
Im just guessing at how much spring pressure also. I have been told to tighten the center spring up but how much?

I ran the tripple rate springs last year as recieved from Hygear and set to their 5mm set height. Huge huge improvement in ride and handling. I just adjusted the shock valving based on trail conditions when I thought I needed.
I just installed the dual rate spring this season. I don't have any seat time yet with this combination.

Ask snowmaaan, I sold him my sled XTX with triple rates and a dual rate and both rear shocks were revalved. I'm sure he good give you a good insight as to what he has them set to.

I have the tripple rates up front and the dual rate in the center. I am 190 lbs. running a 136" track on a regular nytro. I now have my settings dialed in. I have about 1/4 of my threads left to tighten on the center shock and am running about 2 inches of sag in the front end. I'd say my front springs are set about half way up. The nice thing about the tripple rates is that you don't need them rock hard to maintain stability.

When I installed mine On the front and rear shocks I just did 5mm of preload and thats it. I don't remember how many spacers I left in the front springs, but it wasn't all of them

Why take out spacers? Is this to get more use of the small helper springs? I was under the impression that once the shock compresses to the spacer that the main spring takes over. I am mostly worried about setting the center shock to get rid of some of the trail chatter. Thanks for everybodys help.

The top tender spring/spacers just adjusts ride height. The more spacers you have in, the higher it rides. I wanted the front end low.
