Emergency!!! Help with dragon susp. into switchback

[tinman1980]

Hey everyone I hope someone can answer this question. I have just bought a complete 163" Dragon skid and am planning to put under a "04 switchback. Problem is will the jackshaft off the Dragon fit the switchback? If not does anyone have a solution other than buying new drivers for the stock jackshaft?


Thanks Tinman

I think you mean driveshaft... the jackshaft is what the secondary clutch mounts to.

The Driveshaft will not fit...it is not wide enough...

Also, the Dragon skid is narrower and needs different valving on the shocks... you will need to machine some spacers for the crossshafts to fit the wider sb tunnel.

Ok mountainhorse so the driveshaft (holds thd drivers) is too short. Need to have a shaft made? I was worried about that. Now the spacers made out of aluminum?
