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.
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor, and high esprit de corps of the Rangers. Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea, or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier. Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight and I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one-hundred-percent and then some. Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow. Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country. Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission though I be the lone survivor. Rangers Lead The Way!.."All the way!" <<<<<1st Bat, 75th>>>>>

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.

Okay, 1 more question. I was told that if I loosen the tensioner strap only 1 hole, then i wouldnt notice much difference. Is that true?
