08 xp suspension upgrade

Center Shock extension

I purchased a longer center shock (from a 2011 summit) and used the brackets sold by xtremeairvents. It helps A LOT with trenching and general maneuverability. Definitely recommend it, best bang for you buck in terms of suspension.

If it is an X model, get all 4 shocks rebuilt.


The 2010-> center shock upgrade is an excellent recommendation.


a SledHead Racing T-3 rear suspension relocate kit greatly improves handling and helps the sled to climb up on the snow better.


the t-motion is more than just forsidehilling. the geometry is improved as well


a better tack.


I run a Pro RMK tack on my '09. It is a better powder track and also weighs 4-6lbs less depending on length.

Improvements

Agree with all the above.
Post Forward mod helps body position.
Flex Edge non ported track makes a difference as well.
Upgrade the clutching calibration also makes a positive change.
Now come the hard part: Moderate the throttle input to better match your ground speed. Your track may just be spinning to much in the situations where you are trenching and full throttle is not adding to your ground speed.
