you wanna lose wieght on your wedge??? Here is what you do first off get some different trailing arms cause those suckers are super heavy. Then get some lightweight aluminum radius rods, a set of lighter skis, Gut your hood and belly pan out this means taking off all the foam and headlight, wiring ect... also there is alot of exhaust junk under that hood that you can take off.. like that headshielding junk just drill out the rivets and get rid of it. also if you want to be faster crank your limiter straps down... IMO you dont want to swap out your suspension that would be stupid going to an older supsension would add a more weight. the only ones that are lighter are prolly the Virticle edge suspensions so i would say a swap any other way would be pointless.

Ill check on the specks and get back to you on that one... But they are not hard to make either, with some decent walled pipe all you do is weld your spindle ends on and your bushings on the end. Someone besides tison sells them though I will do some looking around because i dont rembeber who. Also if you want a boss seat http://www.polarisindustries.com has a clearence on them for about 250 apiece.

If you want lighter products like trailing arms FAB CRAFT is the way to go. They have trailing arms that either of you would need that are super like $500 for the whole set. That is a good deal and there stuff seems to be really strong. Heres a link to the page. Sorry it took me a while i have been really busy.
