What do you think? I made some brackets today to have my Apex even higher when riding off trail this winter. We don´t have any snow yet so i have´nt been able to try them out. Last year i made a pair of brackets for the skis to increase some height, but i did´nt feel it was enough. The sled now measures 13" on the lowest point under, i have made some adjustable brackets for the boogie to have the front and rear pretty much in level. The removal of the sway bar was my friends idea. He said it will be better to ride when going sideways on steep surfaces? I know i have messed up the balance of the sled, but that´s the main idea. Just to have it better in the deep snow.
Have any of you tried similar mods? How did it work?
The sled has a homebuilt turbo and for this winter i´m also putting in a meth injection. I was hoping to see at least 20psi on the gauge. The track is 136" for now. It was a 120" from the beginning.
Please share some inputs. I´m pretty new to this snowmobiling so any help i can get is highly appreciated!
I´ll post some pictures from the build.
Thank you

Looks good but you may acually benefit by droping the front back down with the rear raised up. Look at a mountain Apex. The ski shocks have less travel so the machine will sit somewhat flat in the powder as the track digs down. I would still try it though since you made them but I bet you will find a lower front end will help the machine plane out and not be so nose high. Also no swaybar is good for sidehilling/carving off trail but not so good for cornering on a packed flat trail. Let us know how it does.

Thanks for the reply!
Only reason i went this high in the front was to have a bigger gap underneath and less distance between the skis. But i guess i have some adjustments to do before i like it LOL..
I'll let you know as soon as i tried it out!!
