I've decided to turn my Phazer II into a Boondock/Utility machine. I can get a set of complete Vmax XT TSS struts for free and I've got a good hookup on a 144x15" Ripsaw for cheap. The XT I'm getting the struts off of has busted rails so the pro action in its isn't worth fixing. I'm trying to be as cheap as possible and was thinking of using a 136" skid and moving it back 4" . I'm trying to keep it a light as possible and wondering what I should do for a cheap rear skid. I see Stock Proactions on craigslist for under 200$ quite often but rarely a 136" skid. I could do extensions but I'm wondering how much heavier a proaction skid would be than a stock phazer skid. How light are other manufactures 136" skids compared to the pro-action?
Main reason for the suspension upgrade is the front struts are free and I figure a longer travel and taller height will allow me to go through more snow before getting "hung up" since the stock phazer doesn't have the running boards to high of the ground. A better ride is also wanted! I plan on gearing it to top out at 60mph, that's plenty fast for flatland powder riding and pulling the portable ice house.
