WELCOME to TY!
You are fortunate that others have suffered, but finally figured out how to make that suspension work.
The XTX had less issues i believe. The updated shock is better and some aftermarket companies finished it even more.
LOTS of Search Forums here on that skid.
Also an Avatar really helps us see who & what you are.
Cuz right now, we're not sure if you're Mark or Nick so we're just as confused as you are with your skid choice. LOL
Enjoy!

Are you talking about an engine connecting rod or the 2 rods next to the shock in the skid. My skid rods broke on my 16. They are made from aluminum the ends pulled out. I made new ones from steel.Had a friend with 16 and con rod broke with only 5000kms.
I'd go with the 13
