Anti-bottoming Kit

[Voda2000]

I just want to post a word of caution with the anti-bottoming kit. I installed one last year and the when checking my skid this year found both of the lower torsion spring mounts have broken on the top edge, the thing that retains the spring.

From what I can figure, when the sled is going to bottom the spring hits the anit-bottoming roller and then the spring levers up on the mount. This has cracked the top of the mount.

I'm taking the kit off my sled. I think a worst case scenario is that the mount breaks and the tortion spring could come off the lower mount. I've had a spring come loose (caused by a different reason) and it is not fun.

If you have the kit it might be a good idea to check the mounts.

A good rear shock is a much better option. Good catch.

I agree. I got the off anther sled for free so I had thought I would try them. Live and learn.

I had one in my sled too, I took it off shortly after and got my shock revalved and its much better that way.
