I got a tips on a norwegian forum about a product that carbonsled sells.
I am buying a set of theese when i start on my iqr 1200wc mountain sled.
Looks like a good way to add support for the bolts an be able to adjust the hight of the front arm in the rear suspension without drilling new holes.

Hard to say as everything varies slightly. That is easy to change, try different prelaods and see what you like.

Twostroke,
Drop the front control arm down one hole below the stock location and trim the rails to clear the drivers, make sure the center to center is correct.
If you are really frustrated you can always load it up and drive here to Meridian I'll help you set it up.
Edit, I didn't read that you had doo rails, my setup is a holz out of an edge

I have a stock rmk 151" ski, 05'. rails are trimmed and running a anti-stab. Been meaning to drop it one hole, the ski pressure it unreal right now, get a serious upper body work out.

To all the guys trying to get these to handle in the snow.... I installed a set of PRO spindles on the front end and what a difference in reduced steering effort. The pro spindle has nearly 3.75 inch centerline to steering mount while the IQ, Holz EZ steer, Barkbusters ect. Have all been about 3" . The extra leverage was a huge improvement. I had to correct the geometry with some custom bushings to eliminate bump steer and correct the 10 mm holes for the 3/8 inch bolts on the Iq RMK front end I am running.

what did the spindles run you?

I don't know for sure, bought them with a ton of other stuff, I do know they were less than aftermarket, somewhere around $130 each, I think.

dropped the front of the skid one pilot hole, and wow the difference is amazing. Handles the way I wanted it too. Worried about my attack angle now tho, looks steep.
I have an m7 162 and an iqr with a 50% race gas, ported, rmk 700 motor, 136 track. My iqr is fun for jumping and wheelying. I probably wheely over backwards twice a day when i ride, hillclimbing or doondocking. But hands down my m7 is way easier to ride for powder launching, boondocking and climbing. That being said my iqr is all stock racer except for the track, motor, and clutching. Im starting to work the suspention over trying to get it a little better for not jumping off buildings.

I had a mseries for about a month, hated it. drop your skid in front, longer track, then put 38/39" wide front end on and you won't be riding the m7 anymore.

Just an addition to this. Ditch the extended iqr skid (which has terrible deep snow manners and weighs a ton btw) and replace it with a consumer skid, or even better, an aftermarket skid, and really get the best out of it! You won't believe how much better it can be

I agree, if you cant afford aftermarket pick up a rmk skid, pretty reasonable used.
