Hey guys, I was messing around with my sled today getting it ready for the season and have been considering hygear spacers since I felt like there was sag with my 13 xtx. I'm 180 lbs fully dressed and have my torsion springs set at medium. I measured the sag once I pulled up the bumper and let the suspension rest, it read at 34mm or 1 3/8 inches. When I got on the sled in riding position I had 19mm or 3/4 of an inch. According to a youtube yamaha tech I'm within the yamaha spec of 16-22mm. Last thing I noticed it that when I stepped off the sled the suspension rebound but not back the 34mm I had, instead maybe 3 mm or 1/8 an inch.

Since my ride height is looking good will I gain anything from installing the hygear spacers? If I put them in how will that change my sled? Also, should I be concerned with the suspension not rebounding more once I get off the sled?
 
The rear skid in the xtx has alot of friction issues. I heard the spacers help. I just installed a star linkage kit and my sag 90% improved.
