Probably over 100 threads on here about it... You open a new thread with a sweet pic and a super general question... While I like the pic... You're better off asking specific questions about the kit or read a few of the threads about it... http://bfy.tw/4lQt

It rids the sled of the rear sag and does ride a bit better. Still harsh in the studders though but not as bad as stock. Many say it has better transfer but comparing mine to my buddies, mine with the star has less transfer ( rear springs on softest & limiter strap all out)

It should ride a lot better , not a bit .
pull up the strap , one hole , and follow all Star instructions , of heavy spring , and full preload , etc.

2 hours by myself and I dropped the skid... Use red loctite not blue... I lost 4 bolts since I added the kit only because I can ride the trail trash much faster

I also added the WRP seat , and I ride sitting down way more than the rest of the group , with all types of sleds.

I installed it with the suspension in & found it relatively easy to install. I personally don't think there is any benefit to taking the skid out, well, besides having it at a better working height on the bench, lol. If your skid is already out or you have to take it out for some other reason then by all means, yank e'r out, lol. sledroll stated that it "should ride much better", I agree, it "should" but my personal & honest opinion is that in certain conditions it rides nice but in the studders it still kicks me in the butt ( still not as bad as stock). I have played with shock dampening & spring preloads from softest right to stiffest, it is set up the best as I can do. All in all I still think it is well worth the $300
