Suspension quiestions

[russholio]

I thought I had a basic knowledge of how the various suspension components interact, but it appears I was confused. Could somebody please clear up a couple things for me?

By "holes showing" on the limiter strap, does that mean the holes past the nut and bolt (i.e., at the end of the strap)?

When you tighten the limiter strap, does that mean more holes are showing, or less? (I was thinking it was more)
How does tightening (or loosening) the strap affect ski pressure and rearward travel?

Thanks.

Sorry in advance, Nash, for the extra "i" I inadvertently added to "questions" in the header.....couldn't change it after I posted and discovered the mistake!

The tighter you compress the front of the suspension the more ski pressure you will have since it pulls the fron of your sled downword. And the more you tighten it the less holes you show.

Okay, thanks. Basically, I had the mechanics right in my mind. My confusion came from the "holes showing". I was counting holes PAST the nut & bolt (the open end) that connects the two parts of the strap, whereas others are referring to the number of holes showing between the upper and lower mounting bars. Makes sense now.

what if you have no holes and have to make your own ?what if you run a 3 pitch and loosen 2 mutch and are 2 cheep to buy a anti stab kit should you have to sit in the trailer for the rest of the day and not f up the rest of the guys day or should every one just go home because you were 2 cheep to spend 80 bucks. hmmm still bitter 2 yrs latter I guess
