I parted out a mid/late 90's XLT that had the Xtra 12 in it(the sled was beat to death) Well i would like to put the rear suspension into a 90 indy trail that i have planted a 400 liquid into.

Dumb me got rid of the old frame before i took any measurements for the mounting holes for this suspension.

Does anyone have measurements for this or a template of some sort that can be had?

I also have the front that I will do at the same time, that should be just a bolt in, right?

I do know that the IFS arms are longer on the XLT than the standard suspension arms on the smaller sleds that are not X-tra 12.

Yes i do know this, that is why i have everything off the front of the XLT, but thank you for your input.

I guess what I was getting at is that I think the IFS bars mount farther back on the chassis due to length. Not saying it won't work, but probably won't be just a bolt on type of deal. I have a 96 XLT sitting back home. If you IM Rbrumm, my brother, maybe he can get you the measurments you need.

yes the trailing arms are mounted further back on the xtra 12

 

[vtsl2]

Okay, I see what you are saying. So how much of a differance is there? Can another piece be welded in?

 

[PolarisGuy85]

if you want i can get the measurements for you off of my sled but the mounts are behind the foot stirups the plates are riveted to the running board

 

[PolarisGuy85]

here are the measurements for the skid and the trailing arms from the drive axle to the first hole is 6 1/4 inch's first to second 23 3/4 inch's then the heights are 2 3/4 inch's for the first and 1 3/4 inch's second taken from the running board and the trailing arm mount is 17 1/2 inch's from the rear hole all are taken center to center hope this helps

It's quite a bit difference in length if I remember right, I wanted to put the x-tra 12 under my 500 classic, but for me, it looked like too much work. I was going to do the shocks too, but not sure of the mounting differences either between the too.

 

[vtsl2]

PolarisGuy85 that is a big help, thank you, I think we may try this in the near future, maybe sooner if we don't get any snow.

 

[PolarisGuy85]

not a problem aslong as you have or can find the trailing arm mounts it should go good the only other thing i can see being different is the sway bar I'll get you the measurement off of mine for you
