Hey all, finally got around to installing last night, before i head off to Rangeley Maine this weekend. The install is a BREEZE and thanks to the great instructions i found on here took about 20 minutes, no joke. I have done all accessory installs on my sled and this was the easiest to date..

One questions I do have. Is there supposed to be a little side to side play with it installed? Like, If im pushing one end in, should it move a bit towards the other end? Bolt and nuts are all super tight, so no play from that. The linkages are pretty flush with the bar on the ends, i could probably get a few more mm's by pushing them in further, but does it matter?

Hope i made sense.
 
you did make sure to reinstall the bushings right? the play was minimal on mine..

Yep, bushing were re-installed... Cool, if i see any issues i will change it this weekend.

Its just one of those things you dont think to check before u take it apart....

I also had side play after installing the 13 mm sway bar. My bushings were fine and I had pushed the end links in as far as possible. Must me normal to have some side play. Sway bar works awesome...enjoy!
 
A sway bar need to twist alittle. By having no side to side movement will make or cause it to bind when cornering and not transfering the weight to the other ski. So alittle movement side to side is good.

that 13mm makes an awesome difference


siick, i cant wait to try it out...putting the powderhounds on with an 8" carbide and lowering the front suspension has made a HUGE impovement already, this should be the icing on the cake.. Next im thinking Fox Floats, should have just gotten the freaking RTX... I do love the Blue though!
 
I was just looking at this post of mine. After getting a chance to ride the sled, and ride it veryhard once the 13mm bar was installed, I can say that this is a GREAT addition to the sled.

Ski lift is definitely less of an issue now. I ride very hard and use every bit of this sled, so in my case I can feel this mod. I would say that if you are not riding very hard, then dont bother, as it's not something thats obvious unless you are railing into corners hard.
