36" a-arm kit for 11-12 Pro/11-15 Standard

[goridedoo]

Bent an a arm on a 2014 standard RMK, and looking at possibly getting a 36" kit. Does anyone make a kit that is a direct bolt on with the longer shocks used with the non-bonded a arms? I realize the 13-15 kits will fit BUT with added ski pressure (I believe). I also realize I could shorten my shocks or get different ones, but I already have raptors and am hoping to have this thing going by the end of the week, so I more than likely dont have time to get them shortened. Alternative Impact possibly?

Another question, does Timbersled do sled parts anymore? I know they had a great priced stock replacement option available a few years ago, are they still available? Doesn't look like it to me on their website.

Thanks

what are the length of your shocks? I'm running a 36" kit with pro 16.65" shocks, which will work fine, however I shortened them to 16.4" to maintain stock ride height/attack angle. I'm running the alternative impact 36" kit.

Our kit will work with the 12 shocks but with some down sides. Excessive front ride height and ski pressure. I do not recommend this but a lot of guys have and are still doing it. To be able to utilize the sway bar you would have to use our sway bar links. It sounds to me like you're just trying to basically get the sled on the snow for the time being which would work fine but I would recommend you sending the shocks in and having them shortened. You have some top shelf shocks and easily shortened, running them long term would diminish the performance of the complete kit but again would work to get you by until you got them modified.

Dan has good advice if you want to get the sled back onto the snow.... which, I believe would be the same for all the narrow front end brands.

I have a 13 Standard RMK with Dans ALT IMP 36" set. Stock shocks and Im using PMS or LPIDAHO's (cant remember who was/is selling them) sway bar links. Works well, does sit a bit higher than stock.

I have never owned a set of aftermarket shocks, always used stockers. I was hoping to try the TRS recipe but I doubt they would work on the standard RMK shocks. Don't know that for sure.
