36" front end. requires new shocks for you but 100% worth it. 3" track is a big upgrade over the 2.25 or even the 2.6. gear down to 19/50, zbros adjustable post delete

As mentioned 36 front end and the 3 inch track will make it a different sled. Get the electric start working The sled I have now will be the last without it!!! Skid relocate, make sure all updates have been done.

If i already have the 2016 spindles do i only need the shocks, upper lower a-arms and tie rods? Every kit i have seen contains the whole package. Also is there a place to that lists the updates for this year of cat? I know this sled has had a factory replaced clutch but im not aware of anything else. Thanks

Country Cat or any other AC dealer can get you the parts you need. If you give your vin to a dealer they should be able to run it and see which updates have been done. Might be cheaper to buy the entire front end and then sell the spindles. They would be very easy to get rid of.

What do you guys like for a front skid plate/float plate? I don't know if the guy rode on clouds or what but there is not a scratch on the bottom of this sled. But I'm normally not that lucky.

I'd buy that 40" front from ya.

What shocks are most people using when they make the 36" change?

From what I've seen most are using the Fox Floats. You can send off longer shocks and have them cut down and revalved. Or find someone who went to an aftermarket shock and buy their takeoffs.

Personally, I have had Floats on my sleds for the last 8 years. This year I bought a base model with coil overs. Not sure if I'll regret the choice or not. I don't think I will. I do know I'm not a good enough rider to notice the weight difference. And the just riding instead of constant tinkering that I have been doing seems attractive. Anyway, that's my take for whatever it's worth.

At this point i'm in the same boat. I doubt i could tell the difference with the shocks. As for the width my last sled was a tundra xtreme they only have a 32" front end so going up to 40 like switching from civic to full size truck.
