yeah i don't see the point in changing the length of the control rod. all that is going to do is change the angle of the scissor.

this pic compares the 15 to 16 rails. you can see why they increased the length of the rod. i didn't measure the shock on my 16 because it was up in my loft but i assume its the same length as my 13 and the new 18 MC shock that i took a pic of. if you check the specs on arctic cats website the pro climb has had the exact same rear suspension travel since it was introduced in 2012

the rear has changed a bit over the last 5 years, rails, and arms. I will have the answer in a few days as im on a 16.

I bought one for my 13 and don't see any reason it won't work. Looks to me like they increased the length of the downrod when they made the mounting pont for the front arm higher on the 16s. Shock is 16.5 center to center of eyes.

I feel like this is a huge upgrade for 300$ not only do you get a much improved shock you get a lockout. I'll be ditching my kiss coupler

$300? Where?

I had a brain fart.. forgot that you guys below the border don't get the shaft like we do in Canada.. $580 up here. I'd save about 200 bucks buying in the states versus up here.. unbelievable.

The 2016-2017 skid should just need the rear QSRL shock. We have them on hand. The older skids will need a different length control rod, we have those as well.

just put it on and my 16 needed the longer control rod, other than that is just bolts in. adjustable rear damping and a lockout without a rear coupler. now all I need is snow to see how it works.

so does the rear bumper sit a little higher after install i.e. more running board clearance?

No.
