Thinking about an upgrade on the stockers. Anyone running these? Any feedback would be appreciated.
I met several guys in the UP running them and they liked them. I am running Hygears Axis and they perform great and were a little less spendy $$$

I have them and they are awesome. They bring your ability to drive to a whole new level. Smoother than stock when slow trail driving. Phenomenal when pounding through the rough trail and ditch banging. Came almost perfect from factory set up. I only had to do some minor adjustments. Their customer service was excellent. I purchased them instead of Hygear because our Canadian dollar is in the shitter and were less expensive because of that. A guy I know has Hygear and loves them but he isn't a hard core snowmobiler so they don't get used to there full potential. I wish I would have bought them last year.
This chassis really does seem to respond to shock changes even when just re-valving the stock pr.

I agree, I'm hoping to get this thing to handle as good as pulls!
That's a positive response, Good to hear that! Getting closer to pulling the wallet out

I can tell ya I was on the 1st TY ride in 2014 it was the 1st real ride of the XTX with the then 4.5#'s of boost MPI Stage I turbo and everything else was stock but the Evol RC2 shocks up front. I was so bad on it I opted to switch out and ride my 2013 Pro R 800. After a that season I put the Axis front and rear coil over clicker shocks on it and coupled the rear suspension through the Hygear system and the thing just came alive. I added 2" to the riser and it is now the fastest trail sled I have ever owned. the 13#'s of boost make it a rocket but there is no fear going into the turns. I am even back to stock skis with dually 8" carbides and added another 144 studs in the track. no push in the turns as long as I let off the gas a bit to transfer weight back to the skis.
The thing I cannot still explain is I bought another XTX 2015 bone stock at the end of last season and it handles like it is on rails with base fox floats (65#'s in front and 125#'s in the rear) and no other changes. I did not get the full break in miles prior to the close of the season but I did see 94 on the speedometer at 150 miles and it had more - GO FIGURE! It did come with tuner skis (stock 3" crap bars and a mountain seat.
