Are 05 RMK ski's the same as the 08's?

[ronmexico78]

Looking for a new set of stock ski's for my 08' dragon. I know the 05 IQ chasis ski's will fit my dragon, but are they the exact same ski? If not what is the differences? And what year did Polaris change the ski style?

Thanks

no, the 05 IQ had the Sidehiler 2 skis. Ok but not great. 2007+ were the Grippers and they are much much better.

A good site to check parts including all the different models the part works for is

Mounting kits and carbides are the same (interchangeable) between the sidehillerII and the Gripper ski's.
