Clarification on parts needed for rear skid upgrade

SwitchRider said:

Want to upgrade my 2014 rear suspension to the 2016+ style, have read everything I can find on doing this and can NOT find a definite answer on what parts need to be replaced. I know the front shock, rails, and rear shock link rod need to be changed, but have heard mixed reports on the front arm and the rear/idler arm. heard the rear arm is needed, and have also heard its not, and its the exact same except for a brace on the new ones.

I'm leaning towards the rear arm being different, as the link rod is longer, so it seems that something else had to change for the rod to fit and function correctly...

any insight?
