I was just woundering how do I stiffin up the suspension on my indy?Pics anything would be a help.
Those are near the rear bogie wheels right? On the rails on each side?The spring adjustment screws are on the other side of the part of the spring that goes down to the rail. The spring goes up, loops around many times, and the stub end that comes out the other side is threaded.
When you stiffen the skid, you're putting more pressure on the skis. When you let out the strap, you're taking pressure off of them.but when I let it out im gunna add pressure, arnt I because it raises the rear and puts more ski pressure?
Yes, they ride in their own little wheels mounted on the rails.Those are near the rear bogie wheels right? On the rails on each side?
Well I know those are to tighten up the track and I found a vid and tightened up my suspension heres the vid that I found.Yes, they ride in their own little wheels mounted on the rails.

No, track tension is changed by adjusting the bolts in front of the rear idler wheels, that the axle mounts on. The little wheels the springs ride in are by the front set of idlers. The surfaces are U shaped, and the ends of the springs rest in them. They don't touch the track, or have any other function.the one that you said on the rails yes they do tighten track tension. and hawkster That might be my option!
What kind of shocks are they? They'd have to have the same range of extendability, or you'd have problems.what i had thought about doing was maybe h ooking up a coilover from one of the a-arms of a quad to where the rear shock would go
Ya thats what I ment.and I didn't touch em Im messin with the aproch angle on the skid tomorrowNo, track tension is changed by adjusting the bolts in front of the rear idler wheels, that the axle mounts on.

not really, if it was a tad shrter it would just sit lower in the rear, you doly have preoblems if it was really long.What kind of shocks are they? They'd have to have the same range of extendability, or you'd have problems.
