8)      Install skis with spacers either inside, outside or both, depending on the width you desire.

9)      Align skis with steering. You can install a properly sized-to-fit screwdriver or bolt into a hole on the front end that will lock the steering in a straight position. Then it’s just a matter of adjusting the tie rods to get ski alignment. You want one-eight inch tow-out on each ski. Once steering is aligned, lock set nuts in place.

10)  Re-attach rubber boot by putting push-pins back in.

11)  Before you re-attach your aluminum and plastic skid plates, install a clip that will be used to attach the black plastic skid plate.

12)  Re-install aluminum skid plate.

13)  Re-install black plastic skid plate.

14)  Remove stock bumper if you chose to install the Limited Edition bumper to add a little more meat up front for tree riding.

We removed one side first and then installed the 2016 parts before moving to the other side. The kit (which will be available this fall and will fit all SnoPros from 2012-15) consists of the following: two upper arms, two lower arms, two tie rods and two shocks. (We also installed the 2016 skis … which are a huge improvement.)

The kit can be ordered for a 36-inch front end or for the Limited Edition, which comes in a 40-inch front end and Fox Evol piggyback shocks. (We went with the 36-inch front end but opted to install the Evol piggyback shocks … sort of a mixing of the regular and Limited Edition kit.)
