Raising the front?

[Alatalo]

My lower bumper bolt is 310-320 mm (12.2-12.6") above the concrete floor, dry sled with no rider but full of fuel, depending on if the front suspension is compressed or extended before measurement.

2011 MTX SE 162", narrow Skinz front end with OEM skis at full narrow, ski stance 915 mm (36.024") measured just in front of spindles, 80 psi in right shock and 75 psi in left shock, Lightweight Rear Suspension Kit with 120 psi in center shock and 140 psi in rear shock, Challenger Extreme 2.5" track, dry weight 29 kilograms lighter than OEM.

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

Hugger:

Nikolai and I had this discussion last season. The rational is to improve the banking performance and rolling the sled onto its side. Having zero in the evol chamber adds volume to the main chamber, so it has the effect of softening the overall spring rate.

I don't care as much about big bump performance (where the EVOL chamber is supposed to come into play by reducing end stroke harshness) so getting the extra volume in the main chamber is more about powder performance.

In honesty, I haven't noticed much of a difference, but we haven't exacty had the conditions to really test it. One surprise is that it doesn't roll any more in the corners while trail driving with the softer rate....go figure.

OTM

I have 12 1/4 with preload set to almost maximum with m'y gytr

I also think my front end sit too low, wish I had 1" more

I have 2011 xtx front end with 17.5 shock and 110 front rear suspension on a kmod gen 2 and a 2.5 track

Do you guys think that shorter arms make a difference on height ?
