Ok, its time for an upgrade in suspension, My back isn't the greatest so putting a 2000 ZL 700 skid in. I have the same skid in my wildcat but that ones a 2001. I got it from ebay a few days ago and ripped it down because it needs work. I ordered all needed parts and am going to polish the rails and use black wheels and paint the steel blue or black, haven't decided yet. I cant find anything blue for a cat skid for the life of me. The main problem is this being a 2000 skid, it didn't come with torque couplers(02 and newer did). My plan is to set it up as best I can and if I have a problem with wheelies, I can drill holes in the rails and install them. I don't want wheelies. My sled now(is broke) just gets very light in the front or maybe a tiny wheelie if any. I would have to have someone record a side view of holeshot. It doesn't feel like it does. I think wheelies are dangerous and very hard on a sled but neat to watch. Here is where I'm at with this(I started today). I took it apart and ordered needed parts. Not too many, $75 worth, I have enough wheels to last me a long time so didn't order any. I then sprayed the rails with my winning aluminum brightener(Hydro-Foam)diluted 3:1 and rinsed. If it turns out ok, this thing should ride like a dream but may loose some mph(I was told)? The holes on rails that the front and rear pivots mount are egged out pretty bad. I am going to drill them to 3/4" and bush the holes. They are the ones about 18" from the front on top, you can see them on the last pic. Next, on to polishing...
