So I want a little more flotation from my stock skis with the water wings on them(kind of a joke I think). I also get a lot of steering kick back when sidehilling in deep snow. The keels are so deep on these skis. Maybe if Doo had put some decent shocks and springs on the T3 it wouldn't need a 3" keel. The only aftermarket ski I liked was the Sly Dog but that was on my Cat. I tried powder pros(hate them) and Mohawks(hate them a little less) on my Pro Lite Cat. I have the Mohawks to try on the XM now.
Need help picking skis for my T3.

Grippers are very similar to Mohawks.

The grippers seem have a lighter/easier steering feel vs the Mohawks...at least on the sleds we ran them on.
Another option would be the DS-2, less keel than the 3. Some guys are going back the 2's as the 3's are almost too aggressive.

How much a grippers?
if you liked the slydogs on your cat, i'm sure you will also like them on your xm..i know i do
I think that is what my bud said too, the Mohawks steered a little stiff.

I sell new takeoffs for $329 a set. That is fairly close to new ones. (I think.) They are cheap for a good ski.
What are you replacing the Grippers with on those Pros?
Nothing, just parting the sleds. I kept two sets for me last year and ran them on my Freeride and T3.
...I know it's on here SOMEWHERE, but what parts do you need to marry up a gripper to a doo?
Thanks!

1. Hammer
2. Large hammer
3. Roll of duct tape
4. 100 medium tie wraps or 10 very large tie wraps.
Ha good question tho, what saddle fits the Doo spindle and gripper ski?

Some guys cut the ski where the rubber goes, I refuse to do that. I ran a Doo rubber on one sled and a C&A Polaris IQ or IQR rubber on the other sled. Both were damaged pretty quick, 200-300 miles before they get torn/worn, or pop out. Buddy had problems with popping them out last year, but he hits stuff really hard.

i removed the wing on my ski's (2015 t3) and it made a big difference on steering...
I added a set of these to my C&A BX skis work wonders, saves the rubbers from getting ruined and from the skis flipping up and stuffing the sled.

I like the looks of that! Last year I went through 2 sets of rubbers on my BX skis. And was starting to get very annoyed. Will definitely be ordering a set of these for this year! Thanks!
Here is a pic, just did both of mine, I had forgotten what it takes.
Stock rubbers, I greased the tops as was suggested to help the rubbers live.
Stock Poo bolts, nuts, and two washers per ski that go on the outside.
FOUR more of the stock Polaris washers that go on the outside, but for spacers on the inside.
A little work and done. Helps to have a ceiling or some other lift, and some blocks or wood for working the skis around. Use the weight of the sled to force the assembly together. And of course, an alignment punch and Whammer Hammer. (What my kids call a big orange dead blow.)
I chose not to center the skis for now by using the Polaris spacers, I am not sure I liked them centered last year.

Sure glad I have the Sly dogs after reading this thread--they just work none of the above issues:face-icon-small-ton
