Just ordered this kit #860200165, do I need to order anything other than this??? Is it just a bolt on??

It is just bolt on and away you go . If you have a studded track I would and just did order 6" Bergstrom triple points for the center. Other people are running a shapper bar in the middle also.

You need to order the correct rubber bump stoppers. I rodered the recommended rubber stops thought and I noticed that snow gets packed inbetween the rubber and the spindle which is causing darting. Maybe there is a different rubber to use?

I have no snow getting in mine and I have the stopper in the picture. Not to be questioning you but did you have the stopper in backwards ?

That is the right 5.7 kit. I put a 1/4" rubber shims in rear of bumpers and it would still dart. Then I tried the shaper bars to get it to turn more aggressive and because the stock center carbide lasted a whole 150 miles. Darted even worse. I now have Bergstroms and 3/8" ski savers, but haven't had a chance to try them yet. It better get rid of the darting or I'll have to go and see if I can get some deuce bars for them. I've already spent more on carbides then I did on the skis. Will report on the Bergstroms and savers after I put some miles on. That could be a while.
Edit:
Just read another post where Justinator talks about loosing 7 MPH using Bergstrom ski savers on his old F6. Wonder if they make Duece bars for these skis to get rid of the darting? I should have just stuck with the Woody's doolys. I know they don't dart. Live and learn.

Tall part goes foward and evrything worked for me . You will have to pop the spacers out on the skis (where the bolt goes through ) and put them on the outside then I used two stainless steel washers to take up the slack . I have not received my Bergstom items yet but with out the shim the skis sit nice and I didn't notice any darting last night . I did not ride on heavy travelled trails we where in fesh powder in ditches alot last night .

I just put the ski's on, used the yammi rubbers, bolts, etc I even used the yammi ski handles, just cut the width down to fit the ski doo ski's. I run 6 inch shapers in the center and 4in carbide on out sides. No shims and it rails. No darting for the most part. On a real hard pack trail I run 55psi in fronts and seems o work very well.

I'm using that exact kit, nothing else was needed. I did no mods to the rubber piece. When the sled is jacked up the tips point up. I haven't noticed any snow getting caught under the rubber piece.
The only thing I didn't use were the mounting "rivets" for the handles, I used stainless bolts. Alot easier to remove if you ever wanted to change handles or replace a ski bottom.

Only pop out one spacer and reverse it and then there is no need for the additional washers.

Look at your picture. See the gold colored spacers (or bolt guides) in the skis, where the main mounting bolt passes through? The larger part of this spacer is facing the inside of the ski. They are just pressed in and can be easily popped out. You just pop one out and reverse it so the large part is on the outside of the ski.
