hcr skid geometry

The mountain cat didn't come out until 2017 and the entire rear skid geometry is different starting in 2016. From 2012-2015 the skid geometry is pretty much the same regardless if it is a HCR, SE, Limited, or Sno-Pro. The skid mounting locations changed a couple times. 2013 skid location should give you the lightest front end feel. Make sure you have an anti-stab kit if you want to try that. Lots of threads discussing skid location mods if you search for them.

What kind of pressure or spring preload are you running in the front track shock? Increasing the shock pressure has a big affect on how much ski lift you get. Also, if you only have a 2.25" track you don't have nearly the hook up of a 2.6" or 3" track that the newer sleds have.

HCR has different shock valving that plays a big role in the ability to wheelie
