Just wondering how people are setting up their sleds for ice drags, clutching suspension...... i set mine up but it still seems to lift.

-Front end lowered
-Front limiter strap pulled up to max
-Back shock chained down
-141 chisels
-D&F clutching

Any ideas to help?
 
Correction....its one bolt and washer mid! Thats my setup for when i race and when i trail ride i use the white spring with one bolt in the overdrive position. It engages at 3500 pretty close to stock rpms.

Do add additional bolt to O/D position or just move the placement from first hole?
 
Do not tighten the tortion springs, you will just limit the transfer by doing that. Control the lift by adjusting the limiter. Make sure their's no slack in it, but don't over tighten it, where it pulling the skid up. The rear springs should be at the softest setting. Also, try removing the rear coupling block. It's all about the first 60 feet.... Good luck though, since I just can't see the weight of the Nytro helping you at all on ice... Snow a different story. The lightweight will prevail on ice..

Did you read His original post??? He has the strap pulled all the way up all ready and the sled is still over transferring.

anytime you want to bring something down to race I'd gladly lineup with my Pro stock 700 and we can see who the better tuner is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All he said was he is lifting. Lifting is fine as long as it is not more then 6" at most and that is off the line....

We got COSDRA amatuer drags next weekend. Bring what ever sled you got... I'm shaking in my boots.....

To proud to admit you wrong I see. the only reason I suggested he tighten the Spring was he wask for help getting the sled to stop lifting. You ran your mouth and said DON"T TIGHTEN THE SPRING IT WILL LIMIT THE TRANSFER" Well the guy was looking for a way to limit the transfer because he pulled the strap all the way up and was still having an issue. Your wrong be a man and admit it!!!

I can tell you if I did that I would apologize.

As for your COSDRA amatuer drags if you want to race me come down to the COSDRA world series next year. That's a real race. I'm also on anchor bay every weekend I'm not riding. I'll race you anytime!!!!
