Torsion spring delete systems

Tom's Snowmobile offers a kit that eliminates them. You save weight and get a much more stable skid. I have done it on all my sleds since the T motion has come out. Check it out at: https://tomsshocks.com
I've read mixed reviews. Most seem to like it better but I've read some that say they didn't notice a difference.
I thought I wanted to delete mine until I went with better shocks and adjusted my suspension. Now, I would have to try a sled like mine with a torsion delete and compare before dropping the cash.

X2 for Toms Snowmobile kit. It works very well and keeps ride height way better.

I would say its easier to tune the ride height with either the air or twisting the coil spring and because both rails are attached to the same point via the single link this keeps the ride height consistent , which in turn makes the transfer point more consistent , which in turn makes it easier to ride because of the consistency .
so being able to control ride height is a plus over the dual torsion springs , also there would be weight savings i'm guessing with the single system .

How you can possibly think it easier to adjust shock spring over the torsion springs absolutely eludes me! The torisons literally only take seconds to adjust. I specifically went to a fox float for the center shock because the shock springs are such a royal pain to adjust. Add snow and ice then it's impossible! Some people find one setting and leave it which is fine but I switch up my center shock often depending on the snow conditions.
BTW... I know this is about the rear shocks not the center but I'm using this as a reference because the center stock shock in a spring shock and it sucks to adjust!
you are correct in your statement ! Thanks for pointing that out.
I should have said easier to fine tune the ride height due to the infinite amount between the softest and most firm setting .So if its set though multiple attempts and you are pleased with it it should remain at that setting minus the spring fatigue that it sees over time .
I am trying to determine if I would like to try the Torsion delete then after that decision I need to decide either in, air or coil version .

6 lbs on my 2018 summit sp 175, using the carbonsled kit. A x model would be less( steel vs aluminum shocks) as well as a shorter track model would be less weight saved.
