Do you know what the ski pressure is? It does not sound like you do. You can get it using a set of race car scales. Then you can report an actual number or, better yet, a percentage increase in ski pressure from stock.
How much testing have you done on this? The offset, single shear upper shock mount looks interesting.
That outer rod end on the lower is in serious shear there too.
I think that info would be somewhat hard to deliver due to the rear suspension setups will also effect ski pressure so a lot of it is dependent on total set up. I haven’t seen any published statements from BDX or ICEAGE on percentage or amount of ski pressures change on their front end lifts or have I missed that one?
If you wanna know what the ski pressure is, you have to measure it. Scaling it is the way to do that. From an engineering perspective, ski pressure is ski pressure regardless of whether it comes from changing the bridging distance or distribution between two points or increasing the point load via spring rate or ride height.
If your not quite catching my drift, it’s that you can manipulate the ski pressure with the rest of the set up with or without this kit, and maybe depending the on mounting location the percentage isn’t linear. So you can imagine why a company may not want to leave themselves exposed to unnecessary scrutiny. Yes it would be nice to see numbers, it helps us justify the bang for the buck we spend on our addiction we call sledding lol
I think those lower A-arm rod ends Wouldn’t last an aggressive tree rider more than 2 or 3 rides. I’ve used other arms with the same looking ends. The slightest bump on a stout tree and your ski is dragging. You have to nail something really hard to damage a stock cat lower arm and even when you do it only slightly bends it. Put some decent ball joints on it I might buy a set.
Everyone always says that, but yet we never see anyone break their bulkhead with aftermarket a-arms (with the exception of Ski-Doos it seems).If the a arm doesn’t bend your bending something else. I would rather replace an a arm instead of a bulk head
