This is what most of you are looking for, it's not adjustable on the fly but for a $160 you can't go wrong IMO. Besides I am not sure you would actually adjust the ARC mid climb much anyways, most of the time you wouldn't think of it. This is super simple and adjustable, I think it would be an awesome cheap mod that would help my turbo sled a lot


ZBroz makes this for the Cat rear skid, I talked to them last year about making one for the Pro skid and he said they were working on it but Pro skid was gonna be difficult. I just PM'd him on here like 4 days ago asking about it again but have got no reply... So everyone PM him and ask about making one for the Pro skid so he knows there's a lot of interest for it.
 
The limiter strap set-up is the safest for the stock Pro (a little give) but a bit hard to fine tune the actual amount of coupling (I used different diameter bushings under the strap).
A stop bar in front of the rear sissor adds a bit of front to rear for the big uphill hit. Played a bit with all this a couple of seasons ago but it became too one dimentional unless you brought tools lol.

In the end, IMO, save up for the TS arm kit if you want coupling to play with (I think it is very "worth it" for the deep on a 155 Pro). You need to adjust coupling for different snow conditions and terrain and infinite and quick is best because everyone is a bit different in what they may want or where they set their bars and feet.

That said, Poo did a great job positioning the Holz copy skid. Best bang for the buck is set-up and rear spring preload. Try it. One turn at a time. Totally can control lift with a stop a bar (for the hits) and wind up the spring but at a price of trail ride with the stock components.

I haven't tried it (because I'm very happy with the EVO's and TS set-up lol) but TRS posted some very good looking shim stacks that work with a softer rear spring. That spring allows more preload (anti- lift) yet the rate at mid-stroke would keep the ride.
If you have a shock guy in the neighborhood, 4 revalves and a spring should be under 400 bucks.
 
Rear scissor location

Haven't really followed thru on this one guys.
I tried moving the rear scissor location back 3/4'' on the rails, much like some did to the dragons. Also the front skid mounting was up in the regular 'rmk' spot. Had it in cooke last april and didn't feel any different. This was with a 146 track also. (rear shocks were pretty much shot after this ride too)

This year I'm going to try moving the front arm back 3/4'' in the tunnel from the rmk spot. My last assault was modified like this from the previous owner but I never tried it in that spot. Also going back to the 155 peak for outwest trips. With fresh shocks, stock length track and moving the front arm backwards I'm hoping to keep the skis down a bit.
