Looking for opinions on this ski/carbide setup

[Bradford]

This is my current setup:
- Pilot skis
- 6" shaperbar down the center and 4" stock carbides on the outsides
- Stock 11mm swaybar
- 96 studs

I also had my skid shocks revalved last year which worked out very well and made the rear suspension work as good as the front. This setup works fairly well but my three main complaints are:
- not always enough bite in the hard corners
- excessive ski lift at times
- pushes like crazy in the powder

The setup I'm going to try this year is:
- Stock skis
- semi-aggressive snow trackers
- 13mm sway bar

I thought of going with extreme snowtrackers but some people commented that they were a little over-the-top on an Apex so I thought the semi-aggressive's might be a better match for a lighter RS-Nytro. I also considered the 12mm swaybar but I read somewhere that the fox floats tend to increase body roll especially if you air them down to decrease ski lift and therefore the 13mm bar should be the better choice

Thoughts??

Do you have the 6.9 or the smaller one 5.7 or think they the 5.9s. I run the 6.9 on my APEX 144" and they work great.

It,s a set up issue. loosen off your front shocks. People blame bad set up on skiis. play with your suspension settings.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm running the smaller Pilots, 5.7 I think. Great on the trail but not so great in the powder. If the stockers and snowtrackers work out, I'll most likely pick up a set of stock mountain skis and run the snowtrackers on those.

I run the floats at 55 lbs and pulled up on the limiter straps two holes. I did have the transfer rods adjusted to minimum but it made it too hard to float the front end over the moguls. All in all, I like the way it works, just trying to make it better

Hi I run the 13mm sway bar with Simmons skis and the ski lift is all but gone and I think what lift I do get would be gone if i moved my fat #*$&@ from time to time lol
