Any weight savings by going to the AC skids?

It would be impossible for anything to weigh more than a ProAction.

I wish I could give you exact numbers, but I can't...I should have weighed both skids before installing the Cat skid. I can say that while muscleing both skids around, the Cat skid felt a little lighter. And more important, (to me...not a racer) is that the whole sled has a lighter feel once its installed.
Sorry, not very scientific.

The Cat skid will save approx.12-15 lbs. depinding on the shocks.

Could one of you who has added a cat skid post location of the new bolt holes? I have a zrt 800 skid to install.

I weighed the Firecat skid, I have, today and it weighs 50 lbs. I don't have my RX skid here so I don't know it's weight.

I weighed the 121" stock skid today and it weighs 67 pounds. That is 17 more than the Cat skid replacing it.

Yes I am. I have talked to Kip Campbell & Jon Zimetz. They have both done it and had good success with it. I have one sitting in the garage waiting to be installed.

Anybody know if it is possible to get a 136" Cat skid, or extend a 121"? I am thinking of switching to one but I am already at 136".
