How are the rear suspension rails hold up on your XTX models? The 141 inch tracks. Anyone breaking the rails or bending them?
How does that rear Fox float shock hold up? Does it take the trails we'll? Can I jump some drifts off trails and not worry about blowing the shock?

Thats exactly the same questions i have, so has anyone been abusing their xtx, hows it holding up 

Mine is fine. Jump alot too.
I you are hard on the skid, I would look at some rail stiffeners. They are available for the 141 skid....at least in the cat accessory book do they will fit. Quick screw in install in the spot that these rails usually bend from a hard hit
We have about 3000 miles on our 2. No problems with the skid or shocks. We did back off the spring pressure on the front shock in the skid.

Was it last years accessory book from Cat or back in 2012? Thanks
Should be in both or look on their website. Google arctic cat rail reinforcement. Here is the black version

X2 I did the same thing and am running 120#'s in the rear float. It is a bit stiff on large jumps but if I drop it to 100 #'s I can bottom it out bad.
