JRE vs. Skinz/ZBros

[NO2]

What is the biggest difference other than $ between the JRE setup vs the ZBros or Skinz setup? They all seem to address the basic handling issues on the Nytro. Anyone out there tried JRE and Skinz setup? It seems for half the cost the JRE kit will do as much as the Skinz setup. how accurate is that?

Are you talking about JRE spindles only? I heard Mark was working on A arms, but haven't seen anything yet.

I ran the JRE for a season and they are way too low for my liking..... right at the spindle they are susceptible to trail trash damage. And in order to get them to handle you need to drop the rear down and then the track is way to tight... off trail the running boards drag... not a fan.....Keep your ride height and get the front arms much better idea in my eyes.

I just put the JRE kit on my my nytro xtx. Heres a pic. Ride height seems good. Lower cog than before which seems to be what everybody tells you to do with your ride height. The skinz kit seemed great but other than price i wasn't sure about changing all those parts for durability reasons. The JRE kit keeps almost everything stock.

Time will tell on the kit. But so far very pleased.

I have the ZBros 43"+1" setup, and it perfect. Flatter stance, beefy construction, almost no ski lift in the corners. Great product Love the look of mine also now. Just looks tough.. Also no modifications to shocks needed. Comes with new spindles, and you can get beefier him joints from them also cheap.
Now if you are looking for cheaper solution I would like to hear about the new adjustable setup from hygear

I have the JRE kit on both my XTX and my wife MTX. They improved the handling by a lot on both sleds. Especially the Phazer. Very happy with the results. Parts are very good quality and finish and the price was fair. I would do it again. Lots of people with different kits. Lots will chime in.

I've got the skinz front end this year and I love it. I find my self rideing it way harder than ever before. Its almost like an completely diffrant sled. The thing i like the most is how it steers its way more predictable. I think its worth the money.

Does the Zbros kit work with the 2008 Nytro?

 

[sheetwright]

Yes it does and fixes that spindle issue also

I put the jre spindles on my 09 rtx. Had noticed rear didn't seem to want to rebound fully and front end at 75lbs was very stuff and could barely get it to roll into the suspension by leaning. With jre spindles installed and at 100psi in floats i can get it to lean into suspension more and rear rebounds fully now. Hoping to get some ride time on them this weekend

Is that the 42" kit or 39"? EVOLS? How was the install?

 

[superphazer]

Its the 42 in kit. im not running a sway bar and yes im running evol shocks. I use to have a set of gytrs that had tripple rate springs and were revalved by hygear. Theirs not even a compairison between the two. The evols are the way to go im my eyes. Now I just wish I could get the rear suspension to work like the front and this thing would really rock.

Buddy has z broz he has snapped the lower a arm 2 twice in the last 3 weeks they just don't hold up. This is on both the older style z broz and the newer style zbroz. In my opinion and experience go sskiz they are much more durable.

 

[sheetwright]

Was it the a arm or the heim joint? They sell two styles of heim joints. One is much beefier
