LOL. Yeah, this was well below the primary sidehill line my buddies took and just above a steep V'd creek...sled was on the verge of sliding/rolling downhill. I waited...radio'd my buddies and got help with turning the sled 180 (where it was near the creek bottom once we turned it 180 and it slid down) and barely got out across the other side of the creek. Didn't repeat that line. Wasn't smart. Was fun.

OP lip stick away !!!
#1-The 2.6 track is the biggest
36” arms
Then the rear shock or my
thing is putting Proclimb rails
on it and move the mounting
holes 2” forward , getting the
suspension more under you.
And remember in this thread everyone is comparing
A 40” wide low sled to 36” wide tall sleds. Make the old M
36” wide and a bit taller and it will work better.

Is your M1000 a 10/11. I was thinking about lowering my front arm as well in my 10 XF/M to lift it. I'm running M front end with SLP skis pushed in. Should I do the Carl's cut? Also thinking about improving the rear skid shock. Is the Be iramdt Upgade kit still a thing or I was going to try a Fox 3 since it's the same length. Might be coming out west this Jan for first ride. Oh and I'm doing 153M skid with PC 2.25
The M1000 we have is a 2009, but same as a 2010 and 2011. It's a 162 length sled so even with dropping the front arm it has some extra track to make up for the loss in approach angle. I haven't run the Carl's cut before so I can't comment on that. The Burandt rear shock upgrade kit does make a difference, but I believe it's been discontinued. I haven't been able to find one in a couple years.
