Couple of points to discuss here...First, you'll have to excuse JSLAUB as he is mentally challenged if you know what I mean (he is my brother and he is a little slow but he lives closer to snow than I do so I have to put up with him). Secondly, the issue I was having was caused by the Arctic Cat heavy duty springs I installed. If you held them up next to the original skinny boy springs they looked to be the same length. This was last winter so I can't remember exactly what the situation was, but the springs were either very slightly longer or shorter than the originals. They were either longer, moving forward under compression and hitting something else in the skidframe or were shorter binding up in the spring slider block. In any case, the remedy was to move the spring slider blocks back 1 hole in the slide rails and cut the excess spring arm ends off, leaving enough so as not to bind inside the spring blocks or hit anything under suspension compression.
