Barcode 365 vs mountaintech 38 +3 kit?

[Mountaintech]

The only thing you want to watch for is an increase of belly rub! By that I mean that when you move the skis forward you expose a lot more area between the skis and the track. You will notice this when loading and unloading from trailers or coming up and over snowbanks. So unless you are a strictly mountain guy watch how far ahead you push the skis.

It is interesting that you should mention this. It is actually even more of a concern on a mountain machine because of the terrain covered and the various methods used to transport sleds. It is the main reason that none of my kits move the spindles further than 3" forward. A huge number of mountain sleds are transported in the back of pickup trucks or on sled decks. The ramp angles are such that any further than 3" forward will result in damage to the underside of the machine loading and unloading. Ask me how I know. Below are pics showing the clearance problem. This is a standard height domestic pickup with an eight foot loading ramp. That equates to an angle that is not at all severe. These spindles were over 4.5" forward

Well, one can always adjust the ramp on trailer to work with forward moved spindles. Not a biggie..

We do load on pick up trucks and sled decks. Not sure why anyone would think any different. Here is one of our set up's Ford F150 with a 7foot ramp. Never had any damage to the underside?

I would go with the cr racing arms if I had not modified my stock arms to be 3" forward. In my opinion they look the closest to stock cost less than the other options and they are a Canadian made product Mountain tech is correct on the clearance issue on (raised above the box) snowmobile decks. Even with 3" forward it is close.

Chad (CR Racing) makes some nice stuff. On his 3" forward arms stock shocks need to modified on at least one end. On another note, have you ever seen Rated R (Chad's Alky sled) run. Last time I saw it was on the Pemberton Ice Cap about 10 years ago. Uphill cartwheel at over 100MPH.

I've got close to a 800 miles on a set or CR 36"+3 and I love them. I did have to get the spindle bushing in the top of the shock, but it happened to be the same as on most Cats so finding them was easy. They are really nice. I was afraid they wouldn't be a durable as the stock but I've nailed many a tree at this point and haven't bent one yet. Never had an issue getting it on a sled deck either.

On their web site they said the GYTR shock won't work with their arm. I plan to ditch the stock flot and get a set of GYTR....does anyones know why?

If your using stock Float shocks, you will need to install the swivel bearing in the upper shock. The upper front shock mount will also need to be sanded for clearance before installing shock.


The ZBro’s, ohling’s or Raptor shocks work without any mods.


Note: Stock 2006-2009 coil over shocks or GYTR shocks will not work with the 3” forward a-arms.

Theres a section in here just for sidewinders. Post your question in there. You will probably get a better response.
