I installed my RR cross shaft tonight. It’s slightly larger in diameter than factory shaft. Any issues with getting skid to slide onto that?
My skid is getting welded so I don’t have it presently.

Guess I found my answer when I read back into this thread...
Skid rides on the bushings on the end, rr shaft is the same diameter as standard shaft with bushings/collars installer on the ends where the front arm rides on it.

Ahh, understood. Thanks.
Would be easier to see if I had my skid with me...

Was there not a guy selling steel shafts from Sweden through a cat dealer in Wisconsin?
Couple people got burned by that guy, or at least I saw a few posts about money taken and failure to produce product etc. And that was for the lower shock mount only I believe, not the upper cross shaft
Hmm it was a Minnesota dealer. I got mine just fine.

Hmm....so maybe I do need to start making some then. I had not made it a priority since there was a source for an upgraded part.
Yes 2 bolts and steel is way better than even the RR steel shaft.
The swedish steel one I remember seeing plastered all over Facebook pages definitely wasnt made in the US and his English typing didnt seem to be the predominate language. Will see if I can locate the complaint thread
Saw a bunch of people receive them but also a handful that didn't. The packages and site were in swedish and came from Sweden shipping and these were only for the lower shock mount nkt the cross shaft up top. So possibly we are discussing 2 different vendors
They were also imported by the Minnesota shop I previously posted asking them to be a Vendor. I will not post again since they gained many sales and don't support the site. Screw Them! I am sure Travis will have something equivalent whipped up in no time and I much prefer to support him. Get'er Done Travis!
I would prefer you just drop this subject and we will wait for one from Travis.
Sorry forgot what site I was on and cant speak freely, already stated I have travis' kit on order. Wasnt supporting a non vendor.
