Well we finally have our first actual online review of our kit. Here is a cut n past from TY http://www.barcodeperformance.com

Well after lurking on here and some other sites, for quite some time. Reading about all the kits available for the Nytro. I decided to jump in. Looked at and weighed the pros/cons of each kit. I was a little hesitant at first dealing with a new co. With only one product. But if your on the fence don't be. These guys are super nice and very helpful. And build a very nice quality product. The instructions are quite detailed and cover pretty much everything. You'll need a magnetic angle finder to set up the castor and camber to your personal likings. They have a "factory"setting but that will only work on a 100% true frame. If your frame is tweaked or out a bit you'll need to mess with the heim joints a bit. It took me about 30 min of adjusting to get it to where I want it. I ended up at 36.25" C to C with 24 deg of positive Caster and 1 deg of negative Camber. Thats what the instructions suggested. The kit also comes with a 1/8" upper arm spacer that is supposed to adjust the Caster either way 2 deg. so if I were to place the spacer in the front of the arm it will make the Castor 26 deg But thats just how I have it set. It seems to be pretty adjustable, if needed. The kit fit on the sled quite easily. I have read many horror stories of other manufactures kits that did not quite fit properly or did not at all, or had the wrong side bolts or sleeves etc. This kit came in complete and fit like it was factory. There is only one modification you'll need to do, is cut or drill a small hole into the plastic above the upper shock mount. But this is totally unseen once the sled is back together. Plus I really like that it uses the stock tie rods. Smart!

Damn! What a difference. You really notice the 36" width. Its nuts how easily it goes on its side now. Really regretting not getting it sooner. Its obviously tippy on the trail. But that's a given. I do have to keep an eye on the loading/unloading of the sled on the sled deck. But I have put on a short piece of plastic on the ramp where the belly pan slightly touches just in case. But then again from what I've read all the + forward kits could possible rub on loading and unloading. So this was not a issue for me. I just need to slightly modify mu sled deck and the issue is no longer a concern( job for the summer)
Ive been riding it now for just over two weeks.
I cant be happier with the kit. Great quality great service. Awesome ride. Im very glad I took the leap.
