Have one on a 174 - definitly easier to boondock. go with 5/8" heim joint not 1/2" - bent my 1/2" on a light tap - no problem now since upgraded to 5/8"
I ran it on mine last year, I'm very happy with it. Not sure how to explain the difference other than it made it easier for me to manhandle that big heavy trank around. I weigh about 170#'s so I was struggling with it(in trees, off camber kinda stuff). Now the sled "feels" lighter, is more predictable, and more forgiving. When sidehilling or just carving circles or whatever there is no point where it just falls over and you fall off any more. 1 recommendation for zbros +3 from me!
