Alright, well, tommorow, I'm loosening my tensioner strap. I know pretty much what to do, unbolt 1, and go 1 hole looser, then repeat that step with the other, and make sure i still have firm ski pressure for turning. Alright, well, it's my first time actually doing it. Do I need someone to put weight on the sled, or take weight off, or is there no tension on it right now with it just sitting.

Depends on where it is at now. If was previously "let out" then it might have some slack. If not you wont need to put any tension on it unless it has been pulled up previously. Make sure to increase spring pressure in your front shocks after your adjustment.
To kill a man... Is to kill a part of yourself. Humanity. Like that man, that part of you stops breathing and dies. There is no resurection. Just a cold silent stillness. What is left is an anamalistic will to survive. And the memory. There will be those who mock me here and say things about me. And they are not far off. However they know nothing of Honor. Or sacrifice... Bravery is being the only one who knows your afraid...

lift up the rear of the sled an then put some blocks of wood or what ever you have on the front of the skid underneath the front skid shock. Then lower the rear of the sled down and then there should be enouph slack to loosen the straps. You pertty much want the front shock on the skid compressed.

Alright. I have adjustable 3 stage front clicker shocks. How do I adjust those. The reason I say 3 stage is because on them, they say, 1, then 2, then 3.

if you lift up the back and put something like a paint bucket under the front part of the skid only... that should put slack in them

i have the same shocks, you twist the bottom to the 1,2,or 3 setting, i think 3 is firm and 1 is soft. you may need to take the pressure off of the skis by jacking up the front end.

Hmm.. Are you sure there the same? I have different ones than you have in your picture.
I'll just have someone lift the front up a little to take the weight off.
