I need the distance from the H-arm upper mount to the rear torque arm mount (center to center) on a stock 2000+ proaction skid if anyone has it or could get it for me.

Thanks!!

I measured mine and got real close to 29 inches..... Huh.... I think we need another few people to measure.
 
I got 28 7/8 c to c. Thats to the shaft hole in the drop braket in the rear.
 
Looks like your suspenision is compressed way too much. Can you let that rear limiter strap out? Is your shock bent? I know with the proaction skids if both sides are not measured exact you will have binding issues. Did you call MPI for measurements?

Yes, no, and no....I should explain a little better. I am not getting very good "transfer"...at least not like I had before on my pre-2000 skid. I had it with Hartman kit, transfer enhancement kit, and a 144" track. It really worked well for what it was. Now I have a Northern Lites chassis...all done up by them. It's pretty much everything they have down to the engine alignment cams. I would have all Denny's suspension arms, Al body shocks, Ti springs...more than I would ever put into a Proaction...lol. It had their adjustable transfer rods when I got it. I promptly removed them and put in a transfer enhancement kit. At any rate it does not "transfer" like the old skid. I can barely get it to carry the skis. I don't know if all that ski lift is good for going through the deep snow or not, but it sure is fun to ride like that!

The pics in that other post show the rear of the skid collapsed as far as I could get it to go. I was trying to show the lower portion of the rear torque arm not collapsing back like I remember the old skid doing. I thought the mount points might be off some. I believe all the weight would be basically on the rear axle in those pics...front arm all the way extended - rear all the way collapsed.

I'm not convinced that letting the front limiters way out is a good thing for deep snow. When weight transfers, the arm extends all the way to the limiter...creating a steeper angle of attack. I tried to go the other way and softened the rear shock and put the FRA in the upper slot.

Thanks!

BTW...I got 29" from the H arm mount to the rear torque arm upper mount.
