I would like to know if my sled would handle better putting these shocks on the front. I know there were a couple of people on this site who have done this. I would like to know if it does handle better, and is it worth the money?
 

I've got them on my Warrior. The sled was handling pretty bad on my first ride, pushing in corners, lifting the inside ski badly and so on. I hit a stump and had to replace A-arms and one shock, so went with the Ohlins.

It is totally transformed, hardly any ski lift, and almost no push. However the dealer did set up the rear suspension a lot better, so a lot of the improvement is due to that.

If you have to replace shocks, I wouldn't go any other way. If you are looking for an improvement they seem to be a fair bit better, but IMHO I'd make sure your sled is dialed in first.

I've also gone for much more aggressive skis and skegs, will see how they go tomorrow.
