Raising the front?

[beeze455]

How high are others fronts from the lower bumper hole to the fround at rest? I have been messing with my suspension and I think i have gotten it up to around 10". My buddys M and my others buddys rmk sit much higher.

I have the skinz front end with evols.

Wjat is the secret to getting this front end to pop-up?

 

[hearnoevil]

I run 75 lbs in my front floats, it seams high enough for me.

 

[beeze455]

can you measure your height?

Beeze,

I have 13 1/8" from the center point of the lower bumper bolt to the ground sitting on a concrete floor.
Sled is a 09 XTX, 39"skinz front end, Timbersled rear skid, 60 psi in the front floats, 70 psi in the front skid shock,
limiter straps in the 2nd hole. (Sled is sitting on a 2" track and gripper skis if that makes a difference)

Wow. Is this after you stand on it and jump up and down? Mine is at like 10"! I may be able to get it to 13 by lifting the front and hoping the shocks dont go down. I am going to check my shock pressures again. The must be messed up. Thanks!

 

[beeze455]

Well it was the main chamber on my evols. I always checked it while riding or after. I lifted the bumper and found my floats wicked low.

I raise my sled in the air when doing the pressure in my floats.

On the ground it's useless.

Makes sense, as mentioned above you'll want to check the pressure with the shock fully extended.

BTW when I measured mine it was after I stepped off of the sled and allowed the suspension to rise back up and settle to its normal height.

My sled is 14.5" to the forward lower a-arm bolt. This is with 16.5" shocks.

 

[Off Trail Mike]

I'm 14" to the C/L of the front lower a-arm and 12.75 to the lower bumper bolt. My evols are at 65psi main and zero in the other.

Nikolai, you're using the 16.5's? Did you try them last year too or is this new? Would like to do the same just to see if there is much difference with the Skinz front end....

OTM

 

[Nikolai]

My Skinz front end was built for 16.5" shocks. They moved the shock mounts on the production kits to run 17.5" shocks. It handles good with the shorter shocks.

 

[YamahaRider10]

From the ground to the lower bumper mount I have 12.5" running Ohlins up front.

 

[beeze455]

Mine is now 12.5 also from the lower bumper bolt with 70 in the main float chamber and 150 in the secondary.

Hopefully I can get this pig to transfer and lift the skis a little.

 

[hugger70mtnmax]

OTM I'm curious why no pressure in the evol chamber? Kinda defeats the purpose of the evol shock doesn't it?

according to fox you are supposed to do your air adjustments with the sled un-weighted / jacked up in air. hope this helps
