Second season on them on my XP. I dropped the front of the skid 7/8" and the rear 1"....really helps with the XP ski lift.

Did the same on my brothers XP, I agree they work great, just woundering about the old school Rev's, mixed reviews on Dootalk. From what I read you drop the front 1 inch and back 1/4 inch. Woundering about track tension, should work.

Ran 'em on my 07 Rev as well....just dropped the rear 1" and ran heavier rear springs. Left everything else alone and it rode great.

You moved yours back 1 inch? I thoght it was supposed to be down 1 inch and back 1/4 inch?

Nice sled, I have the same sled.

I did as Smitty told me, front back an inch (with the set back brackets) & not down on the front (only on the XP's). He had his set up the same on his '05. I didn't go down on the front because my sled is a wheelie king. I just adjusted the center shock for trailability.
