Springs of all kinds
mountainhorse:
"Going with better springs also makes a BIG difference with the stock shocks.
If you have a full season the the sled of hard riding... get the shocks simply serviced, put on a good spring package and you will be surprised with the results.

Great thread, MR Mountain Horse
We have been offering springs for about 5 years now on the Pro RMK and its great to hear guys giving feedback. It really does make a big difference and for the $ you can't beat the performance.
Our front spring kit is very popular and we ask for rider weight so we can taylor the dual rate spring combo for what the rider needs. We also like to know type of terrain.
Dual rate with a tunable crossover point allows for more tuning when you get it in your hands. Basically start with minimal pre load and go 1-2 turns at a time until you get the bottoming resistance you want. Its very simple. Your stock tool kit has a spanner wrench or throw the sled on its side and grab ahold with you hands. They are the best tools anyhow.
On the rear package its pretty basic the stock springs don't have enough progression to stop bottoming and if you crank enough pre load into them to start to stop the bottoming you get a harsh ride on small bumps. Our kits are not a one or two sizes fits all we can set up a package for a beginner 140lb rider up to an aggressive 350 Lb mogul pounding mountain monster. Same tuning instructions, Start with 2 turns of initial pre load and don't shop tune, get on the snow and make small increases until you get the desired bottoming resistance.
Stock valving is pretty sufficient for most all applications.
