J&T 4 wheel-kit. But I install the 8 inch wheels.

And are you running the Hygear linkage kit? What do you think?

The shocks are new for the winter. I haven't tried them yet

Mostly I running trail so I think the hygear linkage is great.

I've got a xtx, I got my tri hub out but for the life of me I can't get enough slack in the track to get the new kit on. I've got the park brake on with a ratchet strap to pull the slack but it's still not enough.

Did you loosen the tension adjuster nuts all the way? The next step I suppose would be to remove the bolts that hold the chassis to the upper track wheels. That will leave you with lots of slack but it is a bit of a pain.

I have xtx and it's easy to pull the skid. That's how I did it. Why fight the track.

Also, after you loosen the tensioning bolts take a wooden mallet or something and give a couple whaps on the back of the track to slide the axel forward. I think I did this if I remember correctly.

Got it in after a bit of wrestling, now I have another issue.
The track is too tight even with the adjusters backed off the whole way.
I have the front of the skid in the lower hhole and the rear in the middle. If I drop the rear to the bottom hole will is give me a little slack?

Edit: I just finished my wife's ltx in about 20 mins start to finish, plenty of slack in the track to work with.

Anyone?

 

[birkebeiner]

I just ordered the J&T big wheel stealth kit with 4th wheel, I'll know in a week or two

Anyone?

What holes is your skid mounted in?

 

[trevorl1]

It was upper in the front and middle in the rear.
I switched the front one to the lower hole to give more clearance for my header.

 

[cannondale27]

Might be the problem. 14's were in top holes front and back.

 

[trevorl1]

I just put the front skid back in the upper bolt and plenty of slack now.
