This site has been very helpful to me since I went 4s 2 years ago for my Wife's benefit. She has MS. I thought EPS would help. And it did! So on my 2001 Cat I had installed C&A Pro aggressive crossover skis. Great skis but hard to turn. In my work I use a grease that is thin. John Deere Cornhead grease. I know politically correct. However grease on a sled is as much as pushing the water out as it is about lubrication. Anyway this grease is 0 weight viscosity. Most grease is viscosity of 2. I decided to try it on my spindles one day. And now my Cat turns much easier. Think about how thick grease can get when cold. Should be a good suspension grease as well. Just food for thought!
 

I used that cornhead grease in the gearbox of the snowblower on my John Deere garden tractor and it worked well. I hadn't given much thought to using it on a sled.
