Xp rear skid in a Rev chassis?

[WFMTRIDIN]

Might be a dumb question, but could you swap an xp rear skid into the rev chassis?
Have 06 Rev 144 and want to put a 163 off an 09 XP.
Is it do-able without heavy modifications?

should be fine i am in the proccess of doing the oppisite .I am putting in an 05 162 skid under my 163 08 xp chassis. Everything should work but the upper boggies in my case need to be changed out/

I believe you'd need new drivers to run that xp track. the old track is 2.52 and the new track is different.

Yeah you can do it, however, the center to center mounting points are shorter on the XP skid

 

[Wyorever]

Yes, drill out the back holes (if you look on the inside of the tunnel) on the front mounting location, and the front holes on the drop brackets for the rear mounting location.

As already mentioned you will need new drivers, XP tracks are 2.86 pitch I believe. I think the 06 440X sleds came with 2.86 drivers so find a used set of those and save some money.

Hope this helps.

XP skid into REV

You can do it too!! Wahl Racing 7 tooth drivers- 2.86 pitch. Clutching from BJ. 19/45 gearing. Van Amburg tunnel extension.

I have done just the oposite....151 X Skid in XP Chasis

I installed a 151 X Package skid in a XP chasis....The reason for this is if you follow all of the threads for XP summit skid fixes for sagging and weak shock valving......These light weight skids were not perfected until 2010 without alot of fixes.....I had to move the mount locations in the rear and experiment with the front mounts moving it down and back to accomodate the skid lenght difference....with some experimentation I am very pleased with this skid.....In my opinion I would look into longer rails......But this will definitely work to swap either way by adding a rear mount.....Hope this helps....Gary
