Aftermarket drop brackets for the XP

[PJ-Hunter]

Has anyone installed the aftermarket drop bracket extension from Smitty on the XP? What else did you have to do? I read somewhere that peeps were having an issue but I cannot find that thread anymore.

I've got em....300km so far. Susp geometry is perfect for me. Dropped the rear 1" and the front 7/8".

Like Dave said, drop the back 1", and then the front of the skid 7/8". I've only had mine out for 1 ride, so I don't really have an opinion yet. The snow had no base what so ever. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a better idea of how they work. The bolts are a PIA to get out. I had to have the dealer drop the skid for me when he did the driveshaft recall.

Did you just drill the rivets and swivel the bracket to gain the 7/8" drop?

Yup.

Thanks Dave. Green dots for your quick reply.

Dave, could you please post some pics? I am afraid, very afraid.

No need to be afraid....PM Smitty...he'll set ya up. Excellent product.

This is exactly what I was waiting for. I want to drop the front 7/8" but leave the rear the same. I do not want to throw more weight on the skis as the rear lift would doo.

thanks for the insight.
