I've been doing a lot of thinking lately about rear suspension on the 850...
- My last sled was a 15 163, with Ice Age Bomber Rails, "Fat Boy" springs, and Elka shocks from Tom.
- I'm 250ish with gear, pack, etc.
-I have a 18 165 showing up
-Ride Central WA, Sicamous, McCall
- Prefer tree riding and boondocking. Have to ride trails in.
...I'm interested in going to a BETTER rear suspension. Does anyone have thoughts on components to do so?
I see Zollinger has a "Zmotion" rear relocation bracket for 155 bucks.

I see ZBros has a conversion kit for 650ish.

I see Raptor has a drop in for 1400ish

I see that Knod has a complete kit for 2650ish.

I see Next Tech has a skid. Couldn't find price.

... any thoughts on these? Any others? Anyone have seat time on these, OR others?
