Question about raising the track up off the ground - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

I'm storing my snowmobile in the shed this summer and I don't know if I need to raise it off the floor while it's in there or just outside.
Thanks

Raising it will help the springs!

I'll probably be riding in late December so should I still lift it up?

Like KC said.. if the sled suspension is hanging off the shocks, the springs are getting a break. If you don't lift it, you still should put the track on a block to keep moisture from rotting the track

My sled is in my shed and it's dry in there so I don't think I need to lift the track completely off the ground

Still a good idea to keep the track clear of the floor, allows air circulation around it.

Or put it on a pallet.

best to keep the track off of any floor for air circulation as the boys said previuosly and to keep the front suspension off of the skis too. put a milk crate under the bulk head to take stress off of the front suspension
