So you wanna put an edge skid in a 97 xlt? what chassis is it? it is fairly easy to make the swap. you will have to drill new mounting holes and if the backing plates arent correct you may have to drill all the rivets and move them as well. measurements can be found on www.jbshocks.com for a standard edge 121 skid but if your going longer let me know, Ive put in 136, 144, and 151s in the older wedge chassis' and I have all my figures written down.

I put an Edge skid in my 2000. I also put the Edge black shocks on the front to pick it up some.
I realigned the skis but didn't get much chance to ride it last winter. Does anyone think I'll have any handling problems? I think the eye to eye center line is about 3/4 of an inch longer.
Does it feel a lot lighter and how much more travel do you get out of it versus the xtra 10?I've got an edge skid extened to 136 in my XLT and I love it. So much better than the standard 8" suspension. Rides like a dream on trail and off.

I bought a 03 Edge skid 136 and extended it to a 144. Havent put it all together yet but I'm hoping its a night and day difference from my Xtra 10! I might upgrade the stock shocks in the edge skid as well to Ryde FX.
