Will complete Axys rear suspension work in a Pro-ride chassis?

Will complete Axys rear suspension work in a Pro-ride chassis? I know the rear shock is a little different length, not what I am asking, I am wanting to know if the mount points and skid position would be correct if a Axys RMK rear suspension were swapped under a Pro / Pro-ride RMK chassis? Example: put a complete 2016 163 Axys skid under a 2015 163 Pro RMK.

I hope so because I sold my pro ride with the skid from my axys.

I can confirm it will bolt up. Riding wise i did the swap in summer time so can't say.

Here are some measurements I took from two different Rmk pro sleds at two different times. If someone has the measurements from an axys you can compare. I took them from a sled with skid installed on the 2012, and from a 2013 that was an open tunnel, so there may be some slight differences that were recorded, but I believe the 2012 and the 2013 are the same.

My sketch shows the 2012 has a shorter dimension from the drive shaft CL to the bulkhead. I believe this may be due to the front heat exchanger in the 2012 that the 2013 did not have.

Hope this helps.

I was thinking that C2C on the bolts would probably be the same... if they are that would be good. So I guess unladen ride height would also be a concern, as well as some measurement like the distance from the front mount point to the tip of skid rails to get an idea of position in the tunnel... to make sure it is not too far forward or backward. If the track fit for you and tensioned up that is also a good sign.

have not done it my self but

I have read several threads that people have swapped back and forth between the 2.

I know I tried moving the rod parallel to the rear shock from my Pro-Ride onto my AXYS (both 163) and it was a different length. They look the same until you get them side by side. I had to tighten the shock spring to get by with it for a weekend.

I knew that area was different, that is why I was specifying a complete suspension swap so the components do not matter only the entire unit...

It is exactly the same as far as mounting points.
