Anyone have these on their skid and do they really work.
Went 5 yrs without it doesn't bother me except they way it looks when it's sitting.

Ur talking the ones that move the rear arm back 1.5 to 2 inches.

Yes I do have them.

It's more for keeping the skis down and less trenching than anything

The one I'm thinking of is from western country. I'm sure it does move back the arm. I don't have ski lift when climbing now from adjusting limiter. Any point of putting it on than?

just install 2-up stiff springs. skids are designed to have sag. removing it ruins functionality of the skid.

You know..... thats a pretty darn good and reasonable idea on how to help sag on any sled!!!

Thanks Sean :beer: :beer: :D

I got it and didn't notice anything but the $70 missing from my wallet. And it lowers the rear bumper by probably 2", so that means the sled will start getting hung up sooner. I am taking it out

I have it, it seems ok, It helps the rear scissor with a mechanical advantage.
I also have the 2 up springs. One thing to note, the tunnel width at the drop brackets are about 3 mm narrower than it's supposed to be. You can solve this by using some washers on the inside of the drop bracket.

If you are looking to remove sag you should go with Xtreme air vents bracket or Tom's snowmobile. I just installed xtremes on mine and the sag is gone. It requires you to get the longer center shock though. I weigh 230 with my gear and when I would get on the sled it would drop about 5 inches on setting 5 on the tortion spring, and not return when I got off. Now with Xtreme's bracket it drops about 3" on setting 3 on the tortion spring and returns instantly when I get off the sled. Got rid if the sag

I put those brackets on and didnt realized till this year that it pulled the rear sissor open past the stop?
I'm thinking of pulling the relocate brackets off and just going with the FATTY springs.
Does everyones pull this past the stop?

mine did that too, when the tab bent enough the whole rear arm hyperextended and went forward, down into my track and stopped it dead. I thought about fixing it but just ordered a new one. it was pretty cheap to replace.

I just noticed mine was hyperextended, but not reversed.. If it was 1/2 as much I guess it would be the perfect amount.

I didnt like it and worried it would go to far and fold so I pulled the brackets out and got the fat guy springs.
Since I was there I did the T motion too!
I'd say its(T motion) is as good as the extreme air vents rear shock upgrade. Buddy did the extreme upgrade on his now mine handles like his. Both have the S36
