It's a tough go , specially in deep pow , was out with some pros and xm's I was a lot closer to the xm's .
But those pros just work in the deep powder .

Only way would to add some hp to overcome the extra weight and a aftermarket skid.
My 09 Dragon with the fix, slp single, Pc5 doesn't have much problem. Lol. Without the aftermarket stuff, probably not.

My boosted 09 d8 174 keeps up just fine! Guess that doesn't count

I guess my 09 D910 163 doesn't count either.
Correct skid setup, any tips ? That's where I think I'm losing out . I seem to trench just like the xm's do . Will a pro skid fit in a iq ? Has anyone tried and how do they work.
The type of riding I do is 2-4' fresh powder days , when nobody is getting around to well.

I am running a pro skid. the rails seem nearly identical. I just swaped inner cross shafts to use my original hard ware.

I have a stock skid, that I dropped the limiter strap all the way down. And put the rear spring adjuster as soft as possiable. This is my powder set-up-if I know I have a long trail ride I turn-up the rear spring cam. I did the front shock drop and rear 5/8 relocate. But found that in powder I was pushing to much snow with the frontend. So I switched back to low limiter strap and soft rear setup. I like a light frontend for carving in powder.

I am doing my best. I got mtn tamer skid ordering barkbuster frontend, running 10psi. My biggest issue is I cut the hole for the tunnel dump to close to chain case and cant do d&r. I think I am going to try and fab up a way for the d&r to wrk. Its a 09 assault. I think my biggest problem has been the wide assault frontend. Its takes a lot of rider input to get on edge.

Here a couple of pics of my powder setup-First is strap and shock
The second pic is the 5/8 relocate that stiffenend the rear but was not as good in the powder-so I moved it forward to OEM
I also layed the shock down with the 5/8 relocate and didn't like how it handled in the deep stuff

there is not a huge difference in the rails but there is some. I dont know how this would affect the function and handling of the suspension but if i were looking to put a pro rear suspension under an IQ i would probably try to get some pro rails to go with it
Set mine that same way front shock drop, and 5/8 relocate , didn't notice much help .
Will try your powder set up , and kill some pro's !
