I can push my suspension almost all the down with one hand not the much force, and it doesnt rebound back up
what should I do?

Get all the ice out of there

I can do the same with no ice what so ever in it. Had my sled indoors for a week all thawed out and I got to looking at it, looked like it was sitting rather low. So i picked up on the rear and let it go it sunk about 4" just letting go. So then I pushed down on it as hard as I could and it barely rebounded at all.
I too would like to know if anyone else is having these issues. And if so what have you done, rebuild shocks or just buy new.

turn torsions up, shock has nothing to do with it

If the torsions is on the medium setting it should hold the back of the sled up shouldn't it or it should rebound alittle more than it did.

take a look, maybe a broken part? could also add front shock preload

I never messed with the center shock yet maybe I will turn that up and goto hard setting on the torsion.

I have the torsions on high, and still sagging with no rebound, I have tightend up the center shock quite a bit too. I just realized this the other day something might of broke, im going to have to take a better look at everything, cause your right maybe something could have broke. May just upgrade to better shocks anyways, thinking fox floats.

yes, you probably have the track dolly under the center shock. ! the rear will just fall in that case.
ps...and yes the rear springs settle a bit. The hygear spacers will help with that......same with x-click preload cam thingy

These sleds seem to sit low if they are at an awkward level for some reason. Unless you see problems when riding I wouldnt worry about it.
