ive been running the zbroz for 2 seasons. no complaints really. wish there was an option for sway bar. i almost want to try the alt impact arms so i can try it with the sway bar. the only downfall to the alt impact arms is they dont have the "high clearance" feature. pick your poison i guess. if the alt impact arms are as strong as the zbroz i think i would give them a try.
36" A-arm Kit. Which one?

I had alt on 2 of my skidoos and I will buy them for my pro, I like the fact that the steel rod ends will bend or break before the a arm bends, carry a few spares and u can change them out pretty quick, no more ruined days from landmines!
I've always felt the "high clearance" on the zbros was a gimmick. Almost all bent A arms I've seen were from a hit to the ski or a tree to the a arm, neither of which higher clearance would've prevented.
Alternative Impact 36"
Are there dealers out there to purchase AI 36"? Or is the only option to call AI direct?
Thanks.

I spoke with Dan of AI and they are not sold through distributors like wps or parts unlimited at this time. I will be ordering my 36" arms through them when my sled comes in.
I see no weak point in the a arms to save the expensive parts.
Zbroz the upper ball joint shears and saves the lower arm from a ski hit.
Alt impact upper and lower can shear.
You better have braces in the front of you're tunnel/ footwell.
I do have braces aswell as glued the chaincase like the later years have.
I was on the fence between alt impact titanium arms and the KMODs, i was chatting with kevin when i was ordering my rear skid suspension so i figured i would try his arms out. If they don't work well for me, alt impact will be the next set i try (i really hope i don't have to though).

No doubt they're higher in the middle. I just haven't seen any A arms take a hit there that the zbros would've cleared. More of a gimmick in the sense they're selling you something you don't need than that they're lying about the extra clearance.
I could see that feature being useful on a side by side or atv, for rutted trails and what not. Just don't see the benefit on a sled.
But they look cool!
Decided to pull the Z-Broz 39" off and just ordered an Alternative Impact 36" front end. I can tell you this, Dan was awesome to deal with on the phone, cannot wait to get these a-arms here an on!!!
I hoping this 36" front end with the addition of the X3 I just put on, should make it pretty interesting!!!!
Anyone else have the 36" front end with the 3"?????

I ran the 36" Zbros front end, with his dual rate springs and a 162x3 on a Boost-it HO. The sled is awesome.

When their 36" arms first came out they did not have the swaybar mount. It looks like the newer ones do.
They may have realized they were losing too many customers to AI as Dan's 36" arms have had the sway bar option from day one.
That picture is the 39" width.... Not the 36"
The Kmod arms come with new pivot joints installed. If you have ever taken the ends off the Polaris a-arms the extra cost is well worth it. Plus you have a backup set of arms when the inevitable happens. Polaris sells replacement pivots for +/- 50.00 each for the bottom and 40.00 each for the top.
