If you had to pick one mod, that offered best bang for the buck on the G4 850 what would it be? My personal sled is a 2018 X 175" but this can be open to all lengths, years etc.

For me it's t-motion lockout. I fought my t-3 for 2 years on handling while in the trees and climbing, could not keep a strait line, finally locked out t-motion and right then the sled went where I pointed it from that point forward. First mod on my new 2020 before it hits the snow.

When the ski rubbers wear out, the ski gets floppy. When you cross a rut on a sidehill you ski will hit it and point up, causing sled to follow. Many blame this on on T motion when the ski rubber is a big part. I replaced with Durapros and now the sled stays flat on a side hill.

I also did the lower riser, snowflap, Custer seat, front dual rate springs and Munster kill switch. Each change made improvements, but all of then made the sled fantastic.
