09 vs 08

[Bbrew]

Does anyone know exactly what the front end geometry changes are for 09? Just tore the front end off my 08, along with a couple ribs. Will 09 arms and spindles be the only change, or did the a-arm mounts change as well? A-arms, spindles, what has changed?

Yeh, I figured that one out! Hope you heal quick.

09 a-arms will not bolt on 08s. This was a ? at the dealer show and they said they changed the sub frame, a-arms, spindles, ball joints and sway bars among other parts. The a-arms looked like they would mount to the 08 sub frame, I am not sure on the angle you would end up with though. The spindle on the 09 is laid back more than 08 looks like alot but they said it is only a few degrees.

Why dont they make an update kit for those that want it? Anyone ask that?

 

[franklin]

That was asked and they are supposed to be working on one

Ok, will the 09 sub bolt up to an 08? Looks like I will have to replace the sub as well. Will the 09 front end sub forward bolt up?

4 ribs and broken pelvis, I'll be the one at the show in midland with the walker. Plenty of time to heal before next season, me and the sled.

Bbrew get well soon. As for the bent sub frame I would think the 09 would bolt to an 08, I would ask your dealer to get 09 parts for your sled.
