	I have a 98 RMK 136" xtra 10 parts sled that I would like to remove the rear suspension from and put it on my 93 EFI that has a 121" standard 8. Can I do this and still keep my 121" rails and track? Is there any other parts that I would need? Everybody needs a good wedgie. 93 RXL SKS (All stock and proud of it) 98 RMK 600 (Son's) 93 500 EFI (My trail sled) 95 Touring SLE (Momma's Cadillac Pimpmobile) 79 Jag 3000 FA (Daughter's, nice little sled) 76 TNT 340E (Goes like hell) 78 Everest 440E (Just keeps going and going...)

	If you go to www.jbshocks.com and check the tech related section, the diagrams for the 121" Xtra-10 and the 136" Xtra-10 show the mounting bolts being in different locations. I'm assuming that this means the torque arms will mount in different locations on the rails also, but I'm not 100% sure. Good luck. Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Quote originally posted by jbshocks you can not swap the rails. not even close Can the xtra 10 136 rails be shortened? Or do I need to get a set of 121" xtra 10 rails?

	you need x10 rails, cheaper to buy a complete setup...why not put everything in the 98 chassis? get the rest of the parts and make it work, its a definite improvement over your 93. 2006 Fusion 600HO -- B.D.F.

I would but I bought the 98 chassis for some parts that I need for another 98 RMK. It does have an excellent suspension front and rear and a nice 136 x 1.75 track though. The only thing is that the other 2 sleds are both 93s, 1 is 121 and the other is a 133.5, both have brand new tracks on them and I would like to use both of the tracks. The 136 track is going on my 98. Here is another ? for you suspension gurus. Can I put just the xtra 10 front shocks on either of my 93s, or do I have to change any other parts such as trailing arms, spindles, etc.?
