Axys skid into a Pro

[LongHorn XC]

Has anyone done the swap yet? Thinking of taking my Axys 163 skid and putting it into my 15 155. Will the bolt holes lineup? Is the geometry different? I still have not recieved my Axys to compare yet.

If the geometry is different, what changed and by how much?

It's all the same, just lighter and a different motion ratio on the rear shock

What would be the advantage to this?

I agree...WHY would you think about doing this if you have a brand new Axys coming?

Sounds like he is pulling the skid from his axys and putting it in the pro. With aftermarket on the axys?

You are 100% correct. I have a new 163 Axys and I'm thinking of installing a Kmod into to Axys the replace my 15 155 with the stock 163 Axys skid. I've heard mixed feelings on the Kmod in a stock sled though. Do you really need more hp to get the true affects of a Kmod? I'd do this, but don't want to hinder the quality of what the Axys could be before I ride it

Anymore input on a Kmod vs. stock skid?

Thx LH

My opinion but id just do shocks. I think the aftermarket skids take some fun factor away with stock power.

I have done a complete raptor setup with Zboz 36" on a 12 and liked it a lot. Sold that sled.

Moving forward, I was thinking of trying to make the 15 better than the 12. I guess from what I'm hearing, Kmod is not the way to go. Just going with upgraded shocks like raptors might be the way to go again.
