	My suspension is way too soft... it will pretty much be bottomed out once i hit a small bump. or when i get on it sometimes... is there any way to stiffen up the back suspension (the front seems fine) ... but the back is terrible... is there anyway to stiffen it up?

	Get your shocks rebuilt. It is recommended that they should be rebuilt every year. SortaStock rebuilds them pretty cheap and does a great job. I'll try to find the link. *edit* - Here ya go http://www.snowmobilefanatics.com/forum/topic/74576/display.aspx '94 ZR580 Remember, the things we say and write not only effect those it was intended for, but can also effect the greater population...whether good or bad.

	Spring Rate and Dampener ramount. You are looking to increase overall stiffness, increasing spring weight will make it harder to compress, rebuilding the shocks will mean that they will resist the hard bumps more, but still compress on the smaller ones. Where as stiffer spring will always be stiffer. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
