How much top end do you think you guys lost having the king air ? I don’t have a sidewinder but a viper and I really don’t want to loose any top end being that there isn’t much now. Remembering back in the old m10 days you lost top end and not much weight transfer on take off

Did he do the fronts too? Did it change the rear height a bunch or is it same?

Any updates on this? Did you end up getting the King air? Seriously considering this option as opposed to upgrading shocks in factory skid to Elkas. There's not many people who have this skid, so hard to get real world experience or reviews besides the 3 articles that are out there.

I honestly am not aware? They took my order on Monday and said it should be ready by the end of the week. I live about 45 min from their facility. Hoping to pick it up Friday

Have to say Gerard was a great guy to talk with. Took us all around the shop. Saw 2 new Blades being built, one 2 stroke and one 4 stroke. They still build 5-10/ yr. First time I had seen one in person, and have never seen machined billet aluminum components on a sled before. It was a great time.
