HI all, I bought a snowmobile lift at haydays to do upgrade to a backcountry track on my XTX. I'm wondering where that lift should be placed to prevent any damage. I would also like to change my oil while I'm in there. Is that possible with the lift under it?I know I have to remove my skid plate for that. If you guys have any pics of where to lift it up that would be great. I love doing upgrades and maintenance, just want to do it safely!

np fixed it.
i usually put mine so that the front cross bar is right under the cooler. but i do not usually pull the skid on it. watch the placement for where the rear pivot bars are. if they end up around where the w arm bolts to the rails, you should have enough wiggle room to get it out.

I use a lift after every ride. I place the cross member on the front of the lift about half way down the skid plate, and the flip up running board supports line up accordingly.
I pull the skid using the lift no problem, just make sure you have it far enough back on the lift that you won't cause it to pivot forward once you remove the 70 lb skid in the rear.
I use a mountain Tech skid plate, and no concerns of it bending or anything. If you want to change the oil, take the panels off and skid plate then lift it up
