Bindings with lifters? yes or no

I just got a new pair of chronics, and I am faced with a perplexing query: Should I mount my Salomon S910Ti's on the with a lifter plate, or no? I already have a (removable) plate on them because they were on my old race skis, and I race all winter on skis with a much higher plate, so would switching between the two of them be weird feeling? Would riser plates make rails harder? I am confused....

Do not put the lifters on, they won't help.

Lifters in the park only make it harder think about it the point of them is so you can get more edging without hitting your boot an the snow. You don’t need that in the park so it just makes it more likely that you will spill since it also makes you skies more sensitive.

dont do it. in freestyle (park, whatever) u want to be as close to the ground as possible - it'll help with your balance. a few people, including myself, have grinded down the soles of our boots, which makes a huge difference even tho it was only a quarter of an inch or so...

a lot of people try to argue with me about taht, but u really need to do it to see how it feels.
