Dragon Skid in a '98 RMK

[HFOInd]

I have an old 98 700 RMK, and have a 2007 Dragon skid to put in. Got the skid for pretty much free, nothing wrong with it. Sled is of coarse paid for, so I wanted to play around with it. What forseable issues will I run into? Going to run '02 spindles for extra height in the front. And a set of XC 10 shocks. Possibly aftermarket trailing arms.

I have a post on here regarding having mounted an Edge skid in my 2000 XC. Was wondering about getting the front up. So just by replacing the spindles I can pick the front of the sled up some?

The only thing I know about swapping the skids is that they aren't the same width for the mounts.

Yeah, supposedly you can gain about a 1" by using 99' or newer spindles.

It really wont be to terribly bad if your going to run the longer spindles.

The '02 spindles are different on the bottom, you'll have to tweak the stock trailing arms to get them to go in.

The Dragon skid is narrower than the older skids so you will have to build some spacers to take up the space in the mounting points in the tunnel.
