Hey all. Just wondering if anyone has any explanation about what moving your stabilizer bar mounts to the forward-most mount holes does? I did it and it seemed to give me more ski pressure and harder turning. Any chime in would be appreciated!!!!!

My only guess is because you stiffen up the bar, it ties the ski's movement together more because the bar doesn't want to flex. Because going over bumps, that one ski won't move as independent as the other and it puts more pressure on the front end because that bump now has to lift the entire nose of the sled instead of just one ski. That would translate into harder turning perhaps.
Just a rambling guess.

You are probably correct....now I just need snow to test going from each position...

I started this a few years back...after moving the link to the forward hole....IMHO it "sets" the swaybar sooner and makes the effect more progressive

Not sure if you carved at all with your sled, but did you notice I harder to get he sled on its side with the swaybar like that?

Yes! thats the point...less body roll like that...if you want to boondock take the link off and tie up the sway bar...no swaybar like the mountian boys!

In your opinions how would this affect cornering on trails?

On rough stuff I would think it would be worse because it would toss the front end around more. The front ski's wouldn't be able to individually soak up the bumps. On the smooth trails, it would probably corner better because of the flatter cornering.

the smaller diameter swaybar and no swaybar soak up the chatter and terrain better (in a straight line) as they can act independantly....without a sway bar in the turns...good luck ....
as truck said...the sooner the set...or larger the swaybar the more each suspension side is tied together the rougher/firmer more feedback through the bars etc...some of this can be tuned away in compression settings...but theres a definate trade off...
for me...turning well is always primary to comfort...
