Has anyone had a chance to see if ski-doo kept the same shock length's ,front and back, on the 163" T3's ? I didn't know if they changed it with the new front spindle design .

So are the 2014 shock lengths the same as 2013? I just ask because I'd like to transfer my Zbroz suspension from my 2013 XM to my 2015 T3 when I get it.

There is something different whether it is the length or the bushings...2 different part numbers for Non-T3 and T3 float 3 Evol's.

Not quite;
T3 has longer front ski shock then last years sleds, or this years 154 X (163 non T3) X and SP models. Not by much, but more shaft travel.
Better do test fit dry run tests on anything other then stock to see if they will work


Anymore info on this? Sent PM, called and email to Toms but they must be slammed. Just wondering if the T3 163 rear suspension shock lengths, bushing and etc the same as last year or will we need parts to install previous year emotion kits.

I compared the different front shocks tonight. 2013/2014 front shock vs the new T3 shock. It looks like the new T3 shock is 1/4" longer than last years shock.

Wonder why BRP is not stocking float 3 ski shocks then specific to the T3 and RAS2 front end. My dealer was trying to sell me the 16.5 eye to eye float 3. I told him the Tom's has said they were different, but they were unaware of this.

Just called my dealer to ask while they're assembling my sled. 17" from centre to centre.

Tom is way right on the T3 stuff, we have gone into it in detail. :) However, I found this interesting, the Skidoo accessory catalog shows Floats on the T3 on the cover, and seeing as how Skidoo only sells one set of ski Floats......take that how you will.
