ZX2 here. Love the skid. Also put some GYTR nytro shocks up front. Helped alot also. Sound like theres lots of good options out there. If the sled is in good shape and the engine is good, I personaly think it's worth it. Im still driving the crap outa my 03 and will be for a few more years. Good luck with whicch ever way you go.

M20 airwave for me, love it. Easy to adjust,very low maintenence, rides so smooth. If someone offered to swap any new suspension of my choice today, i would say thanks, have a nice day. Its that good.

Why aren't you guys just re-valving or re-springing the stock shocks? I would think that my dirt bike shock tech could make them much better....I need to ask him. BTW....I know very little about sleds
Well, that helps, but you'll still have to deal with busted w-arms and a general lack of easy adjustments. It is also a bit of a pain to install the skid.

Good info guys, I am done with the pro-action. Bad ride and everytime I turn around I am putting parts in it. How many hours would you say it takes to throw a mono shock skid in? I am going to be looking for one. Thanks

my old w-arm earlier this year.
So just a follow up after one season on my SC-4. Just under 1000 miles this year. El Nino. The skid is a huge improvement over the pro action, that's for sure. I can actually fly over some stutter bumps without veering off the trail. I didn't get to dial it in very much, so I had it set a little "hard." I also have a lower grade center shock which I will be changing for next year. I did not break any parts.
I put pilot 5.7's on also, and that cured all darting problems. I'm really close to having the sled just where I want it.

Mono is a pretty easy install because the mounting plates line up with some of the existing rivet holes so there is not much measuring required. The swap could be done in a day but there's going to be more work involved rebuilding the mono with new bushings, shock revalve, etc before you put it in. If you PM me with an e-mail address I can send you some photos.
