OK 2 issues here:
1) when I take a left turn the sled is seeming to dip into the corner, ie dipping right . A-arms are fairly level. Ski lift is not the issue, but I`m not liking the dipping thing. Tips.
2) I have the Mega Float on this season, in the rear, & really like the ride I am getting. However there seems to be VERY little weight transfer. I use to be able to get the skis out of their darting issue, by hitting the throttle, but with the current set up everything stays right on the snow & can`t get any wheelie action at all. What to do here. Transfer rod, limiter strap, what.
Thanks

Ya the only way to get transfer,is to adjust the rod,for max transfer,as far as the front dipping,what kind of ski shocks do you have on,are the standard sogi,kyb,of gyt clickers,all three have a spring preload adjuster,try adjusting up some of the spring,to take up some of the sag,and turn the transfer rod to max for transfer,but it will effect your ski pressure,if you cant get it with the ski shocks,than you may want to pull the limiter strap up one hole,and give that a try. Ok now my next question,is the mega float,and aftermarket add on shock,who did you buy it from,and did they give you any statring pressure to dial it in for your riding style and weight. Speaking of weight,what do you go with your gear on,and so far how do you like the mega float,does it still take the stutters real good,while smoothing out the 12" to 24" bumps ok.blackattak said:

Mega Float was bought at the dealership. Installed for $800 taxes in. My previous shock had worn thru the shock body.
They give you a chart to recommend psi depending on your weight.
I weigh about 200 without gear. If I have my shock at about 170 I can run the moguls hard without worrying about bottoming. 1st time I've found these fun since I bought the sled new.
I was out on the weekend for an easy run & knew that the stutters would be more of an issue. Dropped it to 160 psi & it was very smooth.
If running hard more psi means a little stiffer ride thru the stutters but still better than the original, but you can easily adjust the psi with the included hand pump if that is the issue at the end of a long days run.

Blackattak, the "dipping" you're referring to is body roll, right? Myself and others have corrected this with the 13mm swaybar from pioneer. I tried to pump my front floats to near max when I first bought my sled and it removed most of the roll but only traded it for ski-lift and a rock hard front susp. The 13mm bar correction has been great for me!
