Ski-Doo Suspension ride height

[doo or die]

I have a 01 summit non x package rear suspension, looking to find a way to make it sit a little higher in the back without getting a entire diferent suspension.... any suggestions?

Are there any other holes to drop the front and rear of the skid?

im not sure about the front of the skid, the back brackets ik there are two holes and they are on the lowest ones, your just talking about where the suspension bolts up to the tunnel right?

I'm no suspension guru but you change the geometry when you move that stuff. I would call Ian @ Monster, the sled is a little old but in my readings on DT he seems to have a good handle on the SD skids, just a thought !

I had an 01 and played with it till I was blue in the face. My riding was stand up back country style. The short answer is to get the heaviest rear springs available and set them as light as you can for your wieght. A stiffer front spring for the front of the skid helps. Do not lift the front of the sled with longer shocks or lowering the shock brackets unless you want to buy hoods and windshields. This is not a cross over/ dual app sled. It is a great carving, boondocking, through the trees sled period.

and when you talk about the rear springs, you mean the 2 torsion springs?

Not sure if you want to sit higher or you want more room under the tunnel. If you want to sit higher you could get one of the wedges that go under the back of the seat and on top of the tunnel.
