Good To Know

Q: What happens if the limiter strap is too long or too short? A: A strap that is too long lets the skid extend further and shifts weight rearward, while a shorter strap limits extension and adds ski pressure. Matching the listed 17.5 inch length keeps the suspension in its intended range.

Q: Can I install this without removing the skid? A: In many cases the strap can be reached with the rear of the sled elevated, though some models are easier with the skid dropped. Follow your service manual for torque values on the mounting hardware.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
