after reading about different skis I decided to ditch the tuners and go to pilot 6.9 skis on my rtx. my question is for those that have done this did you keep your spacers on the outside of the ski to give the sled a wider stance or did you move the spacers to the inside to keep the stance closer to a stock trail ski setup?

I have curves and have them on the skinnier setting to be able to fit on the inside of my enclosed trailer- otherwise 2 similar sleds wont fit side by side.after reading about different skis I decided to ditch the tuners and go to pilot 6.9 skis on my rtx. my question is for those that have done this did you keep your spacers on the outside of the ski to give the sled a wider stance or did you move the spacers to the inside to keep the stance closer to a stock trail ski setup?

If your going to be running more trails go wide with spacers, If your running more off trail go narrow and try it. Good point Pjw350 has also. We had trailer issues with our sleds running the 8in slydogs both sleds would only fit next to each other if the skis are over lapped by 4 inches so I have built a ramp so one ski is higher and can be overlapped without touching in the tie down position

I run mine as wide as possible but as stated above it creates issues with trailering, but i dont trailer much


Yes I run wide with the 6.9's on Viper and Phazer. They fit fine in my Triton but in my old Chilton and a buddies SnoPro trailers had to overlap skis. They work great. Not as well as Curves but darn close. Curves just have a lighter steering feel. Getting hard to find also. I run 7" shapers inside and stock Woodys/doo 4" on outside.
