I will be putting mine on in the next night or two, trying them this weekend. The bumper will be lower because you are sliding the scissor back along the rails. I was going to have a set of these made up and try this on my own and then these came along, should help. The only thing I was going to do was bolt them on the rails in front and back of the mounting hole but if they stand up to the micku's then they s/b good.

Sparwood, B.C. Can.
so it is supposed to fix the sag, but it lowers the rear bumper 1-1.5"?

I am wondering too. I just put my arm back and my suspension stayed the same or went up a little. Doing this is just putting a different angle on the arm that will make it harder to compress.Rather than the lower arm leaning ahead, it was straight up. It might be a little harder on the bushings too. I still like the idea, keep us informed.

Installed them on my 09 xp {70 miles} it definatly brought the suspension up, I have the heavy springs in now and think they might be too much even on clicker 1, go to ride this weekend in wolverine {Tumbler ridge B.C}. Iam happy with the results so far, will let you know how it rides and climbs. Putting on revalved x package shocks. Let me limiter strap out 1 hole. Talk later.

10 minutes my ***

previously installed the stiffer spirng and after this instal may suggest if you have already done the spring that might be enough. Lost some bumper height, for what thatr is worth. I will see how it rides with this "sag fix" and stiffer spring...

10 min. install

I suppose i have done quite a few. Loop a ratchet strap from rear axle to bottom of rear scissor. Tighten strap snug. Remove scissor bolt. Tighten strap, moving scissor back. Install Bracket.

It does lower the rear bumper maybe 1-1.5 inches , drop bracket helps. sj

Ya it does lower bumper just a bit. Thats not so bad. In fact on many sleds and my carbon fiber we have made mount holes higher on the rear hanger so as to lower the sled/ suck the track and suspension closer into the tunnel... An old racing trick that maintained speed and control in the rough stuff.

Besides, imagine what the rear bumper height lowered to with ice/snow/fuel and such on the sled before the bracket was installed.

Thanks for purchasing a kit Insaneboltrounder/sjohns. Its gonna work well for ya. Sending anther 34 kits out monday morning.
