How much longer are they?

The circle holes are the original pivot mounts. They're about 8" longer.

What I've been told and read it puts the anchor point in front of the front arm pivot. It engages the rear springs earlier for a more uniform suspension action. So I've been told and read.

We'll see

Hey Doug where did you get this kit? I am thinking of getting a carry over xcr and doing this upgrade. Did you have to revalve the shocks?

The springs are from the 600 cross country and also used the pivot block mount from the cross country because it's steel. My original ones were aluminum. The drill templates I made with a 3D printer with the help of information from a couple guys that did the conversion.

Rear shock was revavled with the stock springs and I did slow down the rebound with the long tail springs. I do my own shocks.

The 2026 sleds have new long tail springs that are different than the 600 cross country but are currently not available.

I can get the P/n's tomorrow if you need them.

Don’t bother with that. If I buy one I will get in touch. I am on the fence of what to do. Either xcr or sba and get my catalyst going

Love the long tails on my xcr.I also installed cc pivot mount.

Rides so smooth in small stutter bumps but still takes the big hits with ease.

munson ifs springs also work great!

Yes I also have Munson IFS and would recommend them.

What year did they start putting the long tails on the 600 Cross Country sleds?
