Do the elevate kit it will make your sled ride 100x better. You would need to do a drop and roll chaincase and the easiest way to do that would be with a TKI belt drive. Belt drive + elevate kit and your sled will out handle most if not all brand new sleds. I ride a 17 mtn cat and am planning on an elevate kit for next season. I like my 17 better than the 2020's from any brand.
Perfect!! Get the elevate kit, a good friend of mine works for ice age and I can vouch that their products are top notch. The elevated twin rail cat is a game changer.
I bought a new 17 mountain cat over a brand new 19 twin rail cat so I could use the savings to elevate it. Best mod you can do to any cat( I work at a cat dealer also fyi)
