Directly from Jeff this week-

Yes, we are doing a 36" stance for the 2016's and it will fit older models(it will change suspension geometry to 2016's). Cost will be $399.95 for our kit(spindles/upper arms/mounting hardware) and would require new bottom arms $130 each.

Mounting hardware will be the same.

Black will be standard color. We will offer some green ones for the green limited.


Sounds like it's about 1-1 price with the cat kit, except maintaining the shorter spindles. Think I'll be moving this route over the stock kit. Anyone need a complete straight 38" BDX kit with lowers, uppers and spindles??

I hope they will have some of these kits at haydays. I want to look at it in person before I get there kit or I go with the cat front end.

Hope they fixed the extremely limited steering radius!

From the limited pictures I have seen, their spindle looks to be just like the new Cat one just shorter. Hopefully that means the steering angles are the same too.

I hope they make this in a 38" front end at some point too.

If they didn't I'll be sticking to the cat front end.

Actually you could be using WyoBoy's steering mod and calling it good with the 16 front end. It's not tippy at all and with the mod has much tighter turning radius

Pro lite front end

Our front ends turn the same amount as stock. No different.

OK, being the new guy to Proclimbs here.

With a narrower front end, won't the side panels "panel out" while sidehilling even sooner with a narrower front end?

Yes, proclimbs are bad for that. Most guys go to narrow boards and tuck the plastic in. Thats my plan for this year
