With 8" wide skis, I feel my front end is still to wide. Anyone offer a kit to narrow it by a few inches?
Want a more narrow front end

Got it. 36.5" front end. Available next week. It is also a forward a arm kit so your handling is greatly increased.
PM me if you have questions.

Isn't moving them forward just moving the "rider forward" back to where we were on older M series chassis? 
Serious question....
Everyone wanted forward! more forward!! Got to get more FORWARD!!!! Then the aftermarket finds that the sleds perform better the other way!
This whole rider forward fad seems totally BACKWARDS to me.

Rider forward is good.
Mass centralization is good.
These arms are more about a balance point than rider forward or backward.
I remember years back we hung an M chassis sled from the handlebars and they hang pretty flat, then you hang.....say a Nytro and the rear of the sled will drop to the ground like a rock. When a sled is balanced, they feel lighter and respond better to rider input. The manufacturers are trying to get all the mass as centered as they can so that the machine responds better to input and handles better.
The rider position on the Proclimb stays the same, but you are moving the ski forward so that the balance from the center of the ski to the center of the skid is more balanced.
Hope that helps.

Yes, it helps. So hanging the Proclimb by the handlebars does it hang flat like the M series or like the Nytro?
The weight is being balanced between the skis and the rear shocks. So moving the skis forward is moving the weight back to find that sweet spot in the balance? Right?

I would think the heavy front end would make the nose dive?
Any pricing on this kit? What does it include? Can you use stock shocks?
