I did what you said with a hole 2" in front of the original hole and 23 3/4" for the back hole and it looks like the skid is way to far forward. I followed the instructions and things don’t line up. Help!!! Oh I used a 99 arctic cat zl 500 rear suspension if that helps.

I did go and check out a skid on a newer sled and the holes had a 21.5" span I think that I do need to drop the front down the 2". I just got some new 16 gauge plates to replace the front inside and one on the outside. I'm also going to add one on the outside in the rear to cover the multiple holes. What size rivets do you recommend for max grip? This is how it sits now. Also is there a big differance between the ZR and the ZL?

I drilled holes for the ZR skid and that did not work. After seeing that it was not going to work I used the original front holes and drilled two new rear holes so that I could install the skid at the 21.5" span. Now I have 3 holes on each side in the rear and a extra hole in the front. I just wanted to cover the holes and reinforce the tunnel with the plates. Also when the sled is sitting without any weight on it the front of the skid is not on the track. That is why I was thinking about lowering it the 2" in the front.
I did ride it and it was ok but I think that it could be better. The shocks are the same as what came with it. I just had my old fox shock rebuilt I'm goint to throw that in the rear as well. I'll try letting out the limiter straps and see what that gives me. I can't try it much this weekend all the snow is going fast.
