i have already moved the front shocks into the other hole in the bulk head lowered it a little but was wondering if there is a way to change springs and get it lower yet with out losing all the travel. *thanks

Doo makes a chassis for you, the CK-3. *I rode an mxzx last weekend, I wouldn't mess with the ride for anything. Besides, what's 1 inch gonna get ya http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif

If you really want to go faster, there are better ways!

I loosen all the preload out of the shocks and put a piece of chain or nylon strap between the upper and lower shock bolts.

The 1" must make a difference. ? The ck3 was lower for two of the three muscle/performance sleds. 600/800 has 8.5 front travel. 700 has 9.5. Supposedly. I *think* the only difference was length in shock.

go to your nearest ski-doo dealer and get your shocks shimmed. (that is if you have take aparts)
