revalves vs kmod kit

I'm adding a push G kit to my 2010 M8 153 and was looking at upgrading my suspension at the same time. I'm only looking at running up to 8-9 lbs at elevation and about 6-7 at low elevation. I know GSR does a good revalve for the rear for n/a sleds but has anyone tried them with boost. Or is it just worth it to buck up and just buy atleast the k mod back half conversion?
 
Mine is revalved. Works well enough. Not kmod to compare too however. Heard great things kmod that's for sure.
 
For the money the KMOD half kit is amazing. I have seen it on a very strong boosted sled at 13 to 16 lbs and it amazed me and I have owned about every skid out including multiple M10s
 
KMOD

Definately do the KMOD suspension. This suspension works amazing.
It is a MUST DO for a turbo sled if you want to actually ride the thing.
If not you are going to be nose up, *** down, and digging yourself out.

Most guys think this is just a turbo mod. Could not be more wrong.
Install one of these bad boys on a stock sled and destroy all your buddies on their stock n/a sleds.
 
No comparison, a revalve is a band-aid for stockers and works decent, tried it and its a little better but still out of control, did the cheap conversion on my 09 twisted HCR and even at 6lbs its ridiculous the difference. The sled/skid does the work and keeps you in control. Because of the price and it being fairly new to the market I was skeptical and did the cheaper conversion, the difference I saw with that opened my eyes to a riding style I dreamed about and attempted many times. I no longer worry where I'm going I just go and figure it out along the way. After experiencing the ability of the kmod I will be going with a full kmod suspension. Even though the conversion is way above stock there are a few times I could see the benefit of having premium shock and adjust-ability. To me its worth every penny. Like mentioned it also works on stockers, but with boost your wasting the cost of a turbo kit without it.
 
Ok guess from most of the responses that the k mod is the way to go. Does any one have one that that they want to sell?
 
I just bought a Kmod this summer. I also sent all of my suspension parts, rails etc, to the powder coaters to make'em all pretty. Candy red wheels axle and cross shafts with black rails and white runners. I can't wait to ride the new Kmod skid this winter!!! I did the full kit with Raptor coil overs. It gives me a boner just looking at it in pieces so actually riding the thing should be a blast! Lol
 
The only way someone would want to sell is if they are getting rid of the sled or doing a full upgrade from a conversion, like I said worth every penny.
 
i dont ride much trail so i cannot comment on that.
but off trail, whether it be pow or spring snow, the skid works very well....
2nd best mod i did to my sled...
first=turbo........
 
With the cheaper conversion it worked a little better than stock on the trail, but if I had a gas can on the tail of the sled sometimes it felt like it was near bottoming out. On my 09 m1000 with a revalve it would run the trail a little faster but not enough to justify not having the cheaper kmod. It also depends on how kmod does the valving on the shocks, make sure you let them know what you weigh with gear and if you pack extra weight like food, pop, beer, tools, or gas it can make a difference. I think with a little slower valving I wouldn't have had any worries. I have also been told if your not feeling it and need a change then kmod will take of it.


BTW, When I say run the trail and can feel a difference I mean beating the pi$$ out of it, at a point where I am leaving everyone else behind. At normal speed its nice and smooth considering stock valving.

I would have to say its the best mod I ever did, the turbo was great but whats the point when you can't use it. It took my riding level from being just above my piped m1000 to riding the way you see some riding in the dvd's.
