Need Help with Reducing Ski Folding-up in Harder Snow

Just looking for opinions on ways to reduce or completely stop my skis from folding up in harder snow when I'm into a hillside, carving or going downhill on edge, as it stops me completely in my tracks and has put me over the bars a few times.

I've looked into the durapro ski dampeners, munster ski stiffeners, zrp spindles and potentially going to the mohawk slp's(I'd like to do this anyway).

I also haven't looked at the rubbers yet, but have around 550 miles on them.. should probably get swapped out.

Haven't put much thought into front end suspension, as that'll be an upgrade for next year. Trying to keep the budget low till next season.

Currently on a 2017 850 summit 154 slp, DS3 Skis narrow, pretty much all stock aside from handlebar setup.

Thanks in advance!

Do these fit on the G4's? My dealer told me "Munster doesn't make a ski bushing saver for the g4's " and their website confirms they only advertise for the XM models. The stiffeners are for the G4's.

Would be sweet if they did!

Thanks

I used the Durapros on my DS3s on my G4. Seem to work well.

I have a set of Mohawks that were used 4 times on my Summit. PM me if you are interested in them.

A video is required for full analyzation. Over the bars action preferred.

I have just put the Munster stiffeners on my g4 and am sold. Definitely notice a difference when sidehilling and would recommend
