Trying to set my suspension so it handles better off trail but I'm still able to trail ride without excessive pushing in the corners. Any advice would be appreciated.
I am going with snow trackers on my xtx. Had them on my attak and it had zero push in the corners. You can run you limiter strap looser which should help with getting the front end up in t he powder.

well i have 2 apex xtx, a 2011 and 2016. still working on getting the 16 set how i want it but i will share the 11 settings as it transfers well and does pretty good off trail too.
1st thing is ditch the tuners as they are too narrow and sink really well off trail. i ran curve's and currently run the 09 apex mtx ski. i ran the ski shim mod in tec pages on both skis. i like the mtx ski as it digs in and turns in almost every condition. toe was set at 1/8" toe out on both skis after suspension was set.
2nd thing, i have both front a arms almost parellel to the ground by backing off the springs on the shocks.
3rd, i set the rear suspension front shock so that when the weight is off of the track, the spring is stiff to turn by hand on the shock.
4th, turn the torsion springs to lowest setting and set the shock clicker on full soft. you should be roughly in the middle of the transfer rods when sitting on the sled. you might need lighter springs as at 250 lb, i was not able to get mine to move on soft until i put the 09 nitro xtx springs on mine and had to turn them up. adjust the clicker to suit your riding style.
was trying for a nos 15 when i bought the 16 but the guy was stupid on the price. let me know if this works out for you.
