Who rides Z bros 36" front end axys?

Put 700 miles on the 36" kit this season and was amazed at how it handles and pulls over with ease. Compared to my other stocker it's night and day!
 
Had a buddy rent a stock Axys 155" this last season and we compared it to my Pro, with 36" arms. My Pro blew away the Axys in the handling department. My buddy was amazed at the difference. So, I gotta believe that an Axys with a 36" front end would be even better.

It takes a little bit to get used to a narrow front end. Really easy to overcompensate. But once you get the hang of it, you'll wonder why all mountain sleds don't come with 36" front ends...

Im calling bs. The axys handles waaaay better than a pro with a 36" front. That being said im putting a 36 on my axys this summer along with the new zbroz spindles

It's very different from stock vs 36" front on axis all your effort is minimal compared to what you will be used to. I have to agree that Polaris should sell factory 36-37" front end

No bs. It was notably better than the 39" wide axys, not subtle. I should add that I have an Assault RMK with piggy back shocks and stiffer springs than a std. RMK. My sled definitely lacked in the track department, though, with the series 5.1 versus series 6. Putting on an X3 for next season, so I can keep up with the Axys.
 
I run exit shocks w 250lbs springs and I'm bout 185 lbs...with the 36" front. That 3 " track will make your sled a lot of fun even the 2.6 would with your set up
 
I have the KMOD 37 A-Arms and I love them. I think that they are a better build quality than the Z bros and they come with all of the hardware installed. Some of my friends have the Z bros and they had issues with the spindle bolt coming loose during riding. The KMOD arms are tough too. I hit a chunk of iron on top of a dam hard enough to destroy the stock arm. I dented and slightly bent the KMOD arm. I rode it three more times before the replacement arrived. And like mentioned above, the handling and pull over ease is remarkable. They cost a little more than the Z bros but they are worth it in my opinion. I echo the sentiment that it would be nice if Polaris offered something that was more narrow than the 39" width that is the best you can do with stock a-arms. I believe that 36" to 37" is the sweet spot. One last thing about the KMOD arms is the ability to run your stock shocks without modification. I like that too.
 
K mod takes pride in making the highest end products in the industry. I ride thier skid and love it. Buddy rides the 37" and" will never use different he says"
 
Might try k mod 37 on my 2.6 axys then will know which I like hard to beat either but worth trying both!
 
I'm running the Z-bros 36" kit with sway bar and exit shocks for all around riding and I love it, huge improvement over stock. Also tried spacing it out from 36" to 37" for all-around riding which is where it is currently set. On my Freeride sled I will be keeping a 39" width for jumping and double duty use in the Midwest and west.


I will have the Zbroz 36", 39", Zbroz spindles and bronze bushings in stock to keep snowesters on the snow.
 
I ride an alternative impact 36" front in the narrowest ski setting on my axys. I love it. It is a handful in the hard spring snow though. It doesn't like you to get lazy, that's for sure. If you are an aggressive technical rider who likes to have limited input to maneuver, get the 36" front. If you like to "ride lazy" and just sit and enjoy the day, stay with the stock width arms.
 
Dont forget about the free forward mounted saddle bags. That is free on the new doo tooooo :)
