Looking for some input - Back in Sept, I had to have the front track shock (Walker Evans) rebuilt and recharged. After I installed it, I noticed that the rolling resistance on the track was very high - to the extent that it takes quite a bit of effort to roll it down the ramp off the trailer and takes more than a pinch of throttle to get it rolling on level ground. I did have to loosen the track to get the shock back in but I measured the thread length on the adjuster bolts to make sure it went in the same spot. Anyone know what could be causing this? Rear suspensions aren't really my area of expertise :)

now that your shock has more pressure your ski pressure will be less to reduce the pressure on the track you might want to shorten the front limiter strap just in front of the shock it will change your attack angle a little
