2008 Arctic Cat M8 suspension updates

[huntingflying12]

I have 2008 Arctic Cat M8 Sno Pro and have talked to some riders with the 2009 and newer version of the same sled. They have said that it feels much lighter and is a lot easier to ride when boondocking. I know that they are just over 20lbs lighter but I have also heard that you can make some changes to the 2008 to make it carve and lay over like the 2009s. If I wanted to make these changes what would they be?

2008 Suspension Upgrades

On my 2008 M8 153 SnoPro I upgraded the front shocks to Float2s. On the rear I did the Burandt upgrade. Both in my opinion were great upgrades and worth the price paid.

I have an 08 sno pro with the following 09 upgrades:
powerclaw track
09 rear suspension and rails w/ 2 inner rear wheel setup.
09 rear bumper
fox floats
09 steering post

With all of these done to the sledit handles great and side hills better than any M I've owned.

On my 2008 m1000 I put a box rear bumper which removes some running board and. Adds a new rear bumper. I also installed the two wheel kit from arctic cat whichmakes a huge difference on the side hills.
