I have a 2000 T-Cat, and have one of those coupling kits for the rear susp. laying in my tool box. Just wondered everyone's opinion on them. I think they are supposed to help with inside ski lift. What about weight transfer? Thanks for your help

I have my suspension coupled with the Cat coupling kit. I really like it. It keeps the ski lift down but you lose your holeshot. If you want weight transfer then don't put it in.

I put one on mine, it does keep the ski's down. I dont have enough time in the saddle to tell you about the holeshot issue, but I believe the opinions that you lose traction. That said, if you put it in, dont like it, just take the blocks off the rails. Dealer told me the arms in the kit are the same, just stronger to take the abuse from striking the blocks.

Also, the rear suspension will be stiffer at the bottom out. I did notice a stiffer ride.
