Skinz is over 100$ more, but it comes with a Chromoly Steering post. You need to mod the airbox or get a different post for the C3 kit to work.

Guess it would depend on the overall scope of ur mods.

Here's my 2015 T3 with the Skinz 2" post forward kit. You'll notice in the close-up pic I had to cut the plastic a little right behind the gauge. Don't know how the C3 3" kit works but seems to me it would interfere with the gauge. Coincidentally I ordered this post before the sled arrived and bent my stock post the first day out flipping the sled over backwards. Now that I have the kit on I absolutely love it and couldn't go back. It might suit me a little better as I'm coming off a 2014 Pro and liked the more vertical post. I also feel that it allows you to keep the riser inline with the post and get further forward on the sled. Wish I had a dollar for every Doo I see out there with the riser rolled forward. I did have to shorten the riser on mine as it increased the bar height considerably. I have the 3" RSI riser and am just over 5'10". Being more forward allows me to ride the sled more aggressively. Hope this helps.

Lol I agree, I ride a xm and always had the riser a little forward but now with the RAS 2 I have my riser inline which way better, I don't believe you need this kit for the t3 with the RAS 2 front end

My 14 is the first sled for me ever to leave stock height, and bars down in-line and I'm 6'2

Just installed the skinz kit. Not bad. Gotta cut a bit of plastics. Use a set of pruning shears works good for the comsole trim. I like the feel of the bar position now.

Makes me mad that this bar position is obviously preferred but Doo wont make it standard.

I did my 14 also, found that my stomach was not touching the bars when climbing hills, gave you space. Seemed to steer easier, alittle more comfortable than my now 15 t3 with out it

Trying to decide which one
on my Xperia I did the c3. Worked good bit I would prefer the o not have to mod a bunch of parts, I don't mine trimming the dash. But the air box and steering blocks were a pain in the ass
is one better than the other.
I would like to shopcanadian. But I do. Want the best post kit

Let us know what your thoughts are after you do the install.

Install went pretty well, i installed it with a reverse curve where you don't need to do ANY modifications. Installing the blocks into the post underneath was the hardest part. Instructions aren't the best either, however if you're running a riser, it feels like the steering post is actually higher, so i'm dropping my bars 2"
