how much should you tighten the suspension if you plan on doing a lot of jumping. not too worried about trails being rough. will this be better for the sled?

Do you mean tighten the track tension?

You should stiffen the springs enough that you get the full use of your suspension but dont bottom out

i thought u were suposed to bottom out a bit? i hear u shoud bottom out around 10%-15% of the time. (from a sno X racer) or is that just fer racing?

Madd dogg,

I think 10% is more for trail riding. As you want the suspension soft enough for a enjoyable ride. For a trail set-up, your suspension should bottom out on the real extreme nasty stuff, as you would not want your suspension set-up to handle those kind of hits, otherwise it would be too stiff for the other 90% of riding you did that day.

for me i like my suspension stiff even on trails. but i love jumping stuff too. i am going out today to find drifts to launch off of.

we got prolly 5 inches at our house but the sleds are at the cabin which got less than an inch. wish we still had snow.
