    Track shock lengths on sidewinder mtx/btx model years.

    If it's a QS3 shock with lockout you will need a longer rod that kinda parallels the shock. A "rod relay" is what it's called on the parts diamgram. I ordered mine from a 2019 MTX with QS3parts diamgram. If your 153 shock doesn't have the QS3 I can't see them being any different. I've had a 153...

    Check the backside of your sidewinder clutch

    I too had a suspect stub shaft bearing and was not able to find a replacement. So I email KOYO and this was the reply I got... So with those specs a guy might be able to find one that works... Any of the 6307 bearings I found locally were not rated for more than 6000 rpm.

    Front skid spring

    The front mounting point will change the approach angle of the track which can also affect ski pressure, I would leave the front alone. With your skid being mounted in the bottom hole at the rear you would be creating a bit more ski pressure by lifting the back end up higher if that makes sense...

    Front skid spring

    do the 18's have the 2 mounting holes in the front of the tunnel as well? What do you mean by your's is set in the highest setting? As in the top hole out of the 3 on the rear mounting point?
