Hey boys', I have a '15 stxdx and really haven't played to much with the suspension. I do notice though that because we have LOTS of snow this winter that while going off in the deep snow the front plows and doesn't want to get up. The front limiters are where they were from stock but it looks like there is only one hole for making them longer which should help lift the front, right? Is there longer straps a guy can try?

Shorten the straps the more it stays planted, the longer the straps it will make the front produce more ski lift or transfer. No don't make the straps longer than stock. You will ruin your front shock.
Longer the strap less control.
Shorter the strap more control.
Obviously skis, carbides, track and studs all play a factor.

Wider skis is going to help a lot then go with bigger lug track.

I have the same machine. It needs wider skis to keep the front up.
I'm presently looking at the Mohawks.

Not sure if you can let the strap out any more, I went to let out the limiter on my XTX (same skid) another hole and center shock topped out before the straps tightened up. These sleds need 7” or wider skis to keep the front end up in powder, my 14’ came with the Cat 6” wide “mountain” ski which sink easy, can’t even imagine how bad the tuners are.
