installing timbersled..not quite sure how to attack this??

[ttiernan]

Bought a timbersled 153 full skid and am installing it on my 2008 RTX. I already have the drivers that I need to swap out. My main questions are where to move the front skid suspension bolts too? I was told to measure off the inside of a tunnel of a stock MTX to where its front suspension bolts are at but do not have access to one (looked to measure off one at dealership but they didn't have one either). Any suggestions?? Also what type of tunnel extension would be the best to install. Can't find anyone who makes a 121-153 extension. Hartman has one that goes from a 144-162, would that work? Thanks for the input..Tom

Sorry forgot something to add to that. Do I need to start running the MTX spring and rivet weights in my clutch??

I would call hartman he can hook you up with tunnel extension or get aholf of OFT Racing on here they are a distributwer for him.
Are you going to get some mtx drop brackets for the rear or some aftermarket ones from oft?
If your riding at the same elevation just lighten up your weights you have now.

Already talked to OFT. Thats where I got my axle and wheels, and Scott told me the same thing, just wondering if anyone had another set-up they liked better. Thanks for the input. Can I use the MTX rivets with the RTX spring? Or lighten both of them up? Anybody have ideas on the front suspension bolt relocation?

If Scott sells it or recommends it, that is the path I would take. Good Luck
