Anyone have one? I think the handling of the chassis is pretty amazing already, couldn’t imagine it handling better.

I will be putting the bdx front end on for next trip. Can give you a ride impression after. Supposed to raise the front a bit and the lower arms are arched so there is less drag.

The BDX is not what the Elevate is... the Elevate is for regular twin rail with rear skid adjustments making it more refined for deep snow.

Yes I realize that, but if all your interested in is a front end change you can’t just buy the elevation front end. If your buying rails already you might as well upgrade with the front end also. The elevation kit looks really good and has good reviews on Snowest but pretty pricey. Just upgrading the front might give you what your looking for.

Thanks. That’s me from Snowest, but I hate posting pics on this forum. They usually don’t load, or go sideways. Bull-**t

You have to reduce the size as suggested.
600x900 shold never fail.

If you could buy just the spindles I would get a set.

First spindle on, and I Love the lift already. Upper A arm bolt is stronger than Cat. It’s beefy for sure

They claim less than a 2 degree change. I don’t care or get too hung up on approach angles. It’s about as stupid as Poos “flickable”. And for me, the reasoning behind this, ever look at a Doo on the deck next to a cat. Doos have a crazy angle and they just plain work. Cat is less an angle because the whole skid plate is a tobaggan.

*Update* Road block for the guys with drop and roll pre 2017 Mtn Cat. The inside reinforcement plate is different. They are working on a solution for me. I’ll have my work cut out for me I believe. There should be a different hole to drill out about 3/4” below my current mount hole being used. Not so much

Some extra work needed to install rail hardware. File down track adjustment slide, and open up the idler wheel bracket to clear the beefier rails
