I need a messurement from a rmk skid and skid question
I want to know how far back the rear lower scissor mount is. From, say that hole for the wheel in front of it(that wheel is on the same spot as on the 144" skid right?).
In metric units would be great  I have ridden my swb for a year extended but I haven't changed the location of the rear scissor to where it sits on a rmk, I'm thinking that moving it backwards to the rmk position would improve the ride. As it is now it wont really throw up the skis when I'm in the deep stuff playing and when I get the skis of the snow they don't come up very high(something like 10" with the limiters all out without hitting a bump), and it kind of feels like when you are riding a coupled sled and the scissor hits the stops and it feels like its forcing the skis down again. Could that feeling be related to me messing up the geometry of the suspension when I extended it(rail extensions not longer rails!) or is it just related to a heavy sled? Sorry for some stupid questions but suspension geometry and stuff like that is not my cup of tea

If you are going to move the rear arm back then measure the distance on the drop brackets, should move the bottom equal to the top to maitain geometry. Whatever that measurement is on the drop bracket then do it on the rail mounting.

the 06 swb at least have two holes in the drop brackets for the arm, with the arm mounted in the forward most hole...and from what i can see on pics the 06 rmk's have the arm mounted in the rear hole so the top should not be an issue, but if someone with a 06 rmk could confirm that that would be great.
I think i just need the position of the lower mount on the rails
