The JT kit installs very easy in about 30 minutes with a little help from a friend who, after seeing what came out of the skid (Tri-Hub) compared to the JT kit complete w/axle and 4 wheels, he will beordering one before the season starts here in New England.
(RTX-SE)

Is this the 8" or 8 1/2" wheels?
The kit for my XF7000 has 8 1/2" with spokes.

They are 7.5" with axle. The Skid is a 2014 RTX-SE 129". The OEM wheels are 7.12", the 7.5" wheels I ordered from Tod at JT are a real nice fit. Did not even need to remove the Skid to install the kit, only the coupling bar during installation.Is this the 8" or 8 1/2" wheels?

Did the OEM coupling bar work with the big wheel kit?

The stock bar works- has about 1/8" clearance with 1" sag on the track

I will measure my friends LTX-LE 137" and see how much clearance there is. The wheels recommended for the LTX are a full inch larger than the RTX.

The LTX has an 8" OEM size wheel. The coupling bar (Shaft, Pivot 8JP-G7337-00-00) is the same on the RTX and the LTX. The only differences I could find were the size of the wheels and the location of the Pivot Shaft with respect to the rail tip. The photos are of a stock RTX-SE with Tri-Hub with black rail. The LTX-LE is stock with Tri-Hub with blue rail.

I just ordered the J & T Steath big wheel kits. Got the 7.5 wheels for my wifes rtx 129 " and the 8.5 wheels for my ltx 137". After seeing a guy in the hotel parking lot at last years giveaway ride holding his chewed up tri hub in his hands and reading about all the failures , i figured were riding on borrowed time. Hope the install goes smooth! Also, wanna give a shout out to Vilas, the guy that started this thread!!!! Had the chance to ride with him last year in munising. Had a great time!!!

The 7.5" on the RTX will be perfect. I'm not sure the 8.5" will fit as well on the 137. It will be very close.I just ordered the J & T Steath big wheel kits.

On their website i see they called out for the 8.5 wheels for the ltx 137" and longer so hopefully it is a nice fit. I guess we will see!

Changed mine out this year, already had JT's 4th wheel kit, replaced the tri-hub with his kit. Got two years and 7400km out of the hub. Bearings feel rough in it now, prob would have not lasted this year. Glad I changed it out before something happened.

Just finished installing the J&T Stealth big wheel kit on my Ltx Dx. Pulled the skid and greased all the idler wheels and all zerks while it was out. All went very well other needing my buddy's help getting the skid back up in the front shaft. Wheel kit is a nice fit and looks sweet. Will do my wives Rtx se next weekend.
