The skid in my 2000SRX is in bad shape and I was gonna do something about it for sure. Local guy is parting out a 2008 Nytro and wants $650 for the skid which has 144 extensions. He figures 121 was stock. Should I grab this, from what I've read it's one of the best options out there? Should I take some measurements off his sled too ?
TIA

The sc10's are a really good skid and can usually be had for around $300 around my area. But there is nothing wrong with the skid you're looking at.

there area few guys here that have done it and LOVE it from what I remember. one guy put it in his vmax 4 and loves it. I say do it, you could probably sell the extensions and recoup some of the cost

oh, and yeah take measurements. although the guy with the vmax was sharing his install process from what I remember
yessir i put the nytro skid in the max4. just got done moving a week ago but will be tinkering with the sleds this weekend so i will take down measurements and put them up here.
I am slightly forgetful sometimes, so if someone wants to send me a text to remind me saturday, my number is 319-929-9325
thanks guys

thanks to you 
I knew you would chime in

used the stock front hole for the vmax4. went 24 3/4 inches back from there and 6 3/4 inches down from the top of the tunnel for the rear mount. Couldnt get and accurate measurement for where the front hole should be in reference to the driver shaft since the sled was in the back of the shed with no way to lift it, but in sure someone here has the dimensions for that hole.
but just to be on the safe side, if he already has the suspension out of his sled, it would be easier for you to get inside that tunnel and get his measurements also to be on the safe side.
If you do decide to use this skid i promise you will not be disappointed. Good luck man!

I have a 2009 Nytro RTX and very very impressed with the way it rides. I dont think you will be disappointed
I'm thinking about putting a nytro skid 121" in my viper. Is there any special skid to watch out for? cracks easy or such things
I havent heard of any problems with structural integrity of these suspensions, and i can see why. they are a very stout built suspension that are made to handle the punishment of a four-stroke's weight over the roughest bumps.
there were different shock packages that were available, along with some changes between the proactive skid and the dualshock. Dualshock has plastic sliders on top of the front arm, proactive had steel sliders. Dualshock has more conventional plastic blocks behind the rear arm to adjust transfer, proactive has a pair of large nuts on the arm itself. Dualshock has the newer style wheels with the replaceable bearings, but you can order the new style wheels and they fit right on a proactive.
I bought the proactive mainly because i found it at an incredible price, but after looking at both the skids, i prefer the transfer nuts on the proactive over the blocks on the dualshock. I have already put the dualshock wheels onto my proactive, and with thime will use the shocks and maybe even the plastic sliders, but the proactive seems easier to tune and more stout.
But im a mid-90's guy. I am sure a four-stroke fella could help you more.
