Is there anyone who has drivenNytro XTX with timbersled Mtn Tamer Back Suspension
with the original shocks arrive in front of the skis?
Does it work well or do I have to switch to Fox float in the front as well?
Has ordered me Timbersled Back Mtn Tamer Suspension with Fox x and hope this fits well on my XTX!

Remember the old saying "there are no lighter parts than the ones left in your garage"...? According to this saying, start by removing some of the less than necessary OEM shite from your sled. Do you need the insulation under the hood and inside the side fairings...? Do you need the parking brake...? Do you need the reflectors and the lights...? Do you need the fairings around the silencer...? Do you even need the reverse gear...? And if weight is a concern, why are you running billet wheels and trail tank...? There is loads of things that can go before you spend a single dollar on expensive lightweight parts.
Then search this forum. The build threads in the mountain section can be a good source for inspiration. You should be able to find lightweight parts and solutions for every kind of budget.
Regarding the Timbersled stuff, you might want to talk to these guys: http://www.ntcfritid.se/
You will find nobody with more experience of Timbersled on this side of the pond.

Can the reverse gears just be left out? I imagine you would need some sort of spacer where the outer gear would normally sit?

The normal gear does not drive right to the shaft so you would still have to leave most of the reverse in there so You would be gaining little. The right way is to order a non reverse gear and cover. The gear is stupid expensive so Im trying to find out if a team Hyvo gear will work since they are much cheaper.
Another thing to consider is rotating weight rob's power along with un sprung weight is bad for performance so running lots of billet wheels may look cool but your hurting performance. This year I will be only running a total of 4 wheels in my skid. That being said low snow conditions will require more wheels.

My mistake - these are for sure not on the "things that can go before you spend a single dollar on expensive lightweight parts"-list...
