Even though it was served up and ready to spike... it’s Smitty. That’s like a ringer winning the special olympics!Wait a minute, I'm not understanding this.
In the middle of a conversation about peckers @JTW is commenting on tie down straps?
Oh, nope..never mind, I see where he's going with this.
Been thinking about the track system.I’ve got shackles on the front bumper and welded a d-ring to the trailer frame just behind the hitch, and I tie to the ROPS on the back down to d-rings I welded at the rear corners of the trailer. People praise these things so I figured I’d spend $35 ($50 with the required Grade8 5/16” bolts) and try them out since I needed some new straps anyway.
It is much quicker to tie down and I don’t have the long straps that always end up loose in the wind no matter how well I tie them to themselves.
When that happens, you are just out of luck ..... lol
I always come through at the end!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your just not special!!!!!!!!Even though it was served up and ready to spike... it’s Smitty. That’s like a ringer winning the special olympics!

What is stock ride height, is that with payload?Fox QS3 only have pre-load, and 3 settings. (I have dual springs so I have the ability to adjust spring crossover)
I have them set to stock ride height with stock tires. There’s just more weight than bone stock.
Works pretty good on softest for most riding and technical trails, mid for faster rough trails, and hardest if I feel like getting some airtime.
I’d NEVER get the stage 5 Elkas adjusted.

Think your could just router them in if you have a wood bed, I use my trailer for all kinds of stuff, hauling fire wood, dirt, mulch and think the recessed tracks might be an issue.Gonna do full length flush mount in the next trailer I buy.
I may be understanding that the weight of the ride will sag the spring the same amount no matter the preload ... but preload will change the shock travel which will change ride comfort correct?
So that is 1.4 spring sag, from factory specs. now add body weight, bet your getting close to 2 to 3 inches of sag, that's great! You may be right on.12.4” of ground clearance, that is an unladen swallow.
Laden with accessories mine was riding around 11” so I was hoping to change geometry to get height without preload but it turns out it doesn’t matter.
And how long it takes them to cool down and start preforming again to potential, HA! I think the 2 to 3 inch sag with all riders and gear is going to be really close to the Fox design, they have done there home work. I just like to screw with adjustments.Yes but mostly no.
TYPICALLY you decide the settings in order of importance.
Where the ride hight is on the shock stroke is important.
Utility ATVs are set close to mid stroke - better for ride comfort.
Sport ATVs are closer to topped out - better for landing jumps and hitting roots.
Wes has a duel spring set up.
Ideally you want the smaller spring half compressed (or so) at ride hight.
There are a ton of other factors to consider but mainly this is discution about peckers and springs.
Nope I had to trade to HL, as in do not get the strongmade to go on arched armsSuperATV does not fit.
I messaged StrongMade to see if it fits. Theoretically it should it moves the bottom of the shocks IN about ¾ of an inch but we will see.
Yes but mostly no.

I know all about that!Half compressed you say? Well alrighty then they are halfway compressed. I have to say I have just the right about of accessories then.
This is on a tee @JTW

I really like these. I broke a strap on the way to mulberry (i used 4) and my Honda shifted around and messed some s*** up. I was rather pissed. They will be the 1st thing I install in my new toy hauler. I saw @nbomar had them and they work great!Well I found 3 pair of these at Tractor supply for $36 so I decided I would try them. They will fit a 28.5” tire I’m not sure thy have the length to go around a true 30” tire.

First time I strapped Rooster down and pulled the trailer, I freaked, body roll and slack in the straps, stopped to see if everything was good, it was. I like the track system, but I'm waiting to see how it works out, over the long haul.I worry about the suspension being uncompressed and the weight shifting because of that. Figured for the price of new straps which I needed anyway, I could try these out and I’d real world see how it does.
Along with a lot of other things about horrible ppl! Lol.He did mention something about that..
