Using a 144" skid to run a 151" track?

[Summitstef]

Has anyone heard of this method? I was told that skidoo did this in the '03 ZX chassis with a 151" and that the skid was pulled further back without rail extensions. Will this screw the angle of attack or is this whole process a load of bull??

Skid setbacks are a popular mod for 01 and older Summits. The factory setback started in 02.

The track approach angle will be better but the thought is that it will increase the ski pressure or screw up your setup. I have never had an issue. also if you run a BWK in the backwards position it will usually get you there without having to set back at all or just an inch or so.

What BU1 said. 02 had 144 setback to 151, vs 01 with 151" rails, lot flatter AOA.Used to be alot of kits out there to accomplish this.
