[attachment=34246:HPIM0611.jpg]I've got an 86 trail that i put the rear torque arm and torsion springs from a 91 rxl in the rear along wwith a fresh fox shock, and that made the world of difference. gained a couple of inches travel and i only bottom out on jumps now. cheap upgrade. next i want to widen the ski stance and put new front shocks/springs in.

have any of you ever tried a new style hood on your sleds like say from a 95 indy storm or xlt this would still be a standard chassis indy

Yes a kid i know has a 1996 xcr hood on some 80s 340.

Sweet i plan on tearing her apart this year adding a new style hood and also i dunno if its been done but i think i could use a Xtra-12 suspension upgrade if its possible

If you use a newwer style hood then you will need the maatching nose cone as well just to maatch the contours.

If you add extra 12 in the rear you will also need to upgrade the front. The standard indy front end sits too low to have a long travel in the rear.

the thing is the sway bar in the front suspension on the txl chassis is different from lets say a 95 indy storm chassis perhaps i should just get a new chassis and switch everything over?
