I recently put the SLP universal drop brackets on my 02 and Now Im wondering if the timber sled or another would be a better way to go for supporting the boards. Also who makes the best pivot risers and two wheel kit? Im am running the stock 144" skid put to a 151" and was thinking of a two wheel but how big, which brand and what track size will I have to run?

i'd keep the wheels close to the same diameter as the drivers ....not sure if you'll see much speed improvement unless ya do both - imo.... i dunnoplus i heard a rumour of track tension issues caused by the suspension cycling w/2 different circumfrences (not too sure how that's true but it could suck??$$$??)

i Just put 2, 8 inch rear wheels on my 04 Summit X 800 and i like the way it looks i got them at mountain machines performance they said that they will add up to 5mph track speed just from the reduced track angle and they look cool as hell!!

I'd go with the taller drop brackets, I went 5.25 but had to drop front arm down to get transfer back. this was for running board clearance, and so the 156x16x2.5 Camo Extreme wouldn't rub the tunnel.

5 mph track speed w/ 8" wheels, that's an old one for sure, guess with MM prices they have to keep rerunning that stuff to new customers to keep moving product.:beer;:beer;
