Hey Mike, I think I need your help. I think I mounted my shock wrong. It does not seem like it is doing anything the way I mounted it. I watched some videos and it looks different than mine. So take a mental pic of your suspension and bring it with on Sat.

Yeah, that seems to be the theme of the week, work on Dodge vans......

Actually sitting on my *** waiting for parts to show up. Ordered Monday morning , said they should be able to get it next day. Called yesterday and they said probably not until tomorrow. Just called them and they STILL don't have it.

I'll take a few pics with my phone.

Probably won't be the same though, different suspensions and all.

What year/model is your sled again?

Don't fret, I checked and that keg is still FULL.
That would explain the broken bolt that was supposedly rusted solid! LOL

I am glad you are leaving some beer for us!

It is a '95 XCR. I looked it up on Polaris site nad it looks like I might have mounted it in the lower bracket along with the two rods. I think it goes in the upper holes and the rods go in the lower holes. DOH! Did I tell ya I am new to these sleds.
