Looking for a recommendation for what skid to put in my 2004 RX1.
 
Monoshock skid was an easy install (some of the existing rivet holes line up with the new brackets) and I find it way better than Proaction. I took lots of pictures if you end up going that way.

I know lots of guys like the ZX2, if you have lots of cash. I found a killer deal on one but haven't had time to instal it yet, but soon. What ever you choose it should be better that the proaction. I didn't find the pro action too bad but the mono in my wifes attack was way better and hopefuly the ZX2 will be even better. Good luck with what ever you choose.
 
For comfort a well set up mono would be the ticket.

For performance a ZX2 ir expertx would be perfect.

These are both for trail riding.

Mountains - whole different game there.
 
Heads up though, if you do buy the Mono plan on spending a few hundred extra depending on what kind of shape it is in. With mine I did:
New mounting plates
Shock revalve
New R/A cable
Replace grease zerks
Beef up the weak spots with gussets (they can crack)
Paint (or powder coat)
New bearings and/or wheels as required
New Hyfax
New bushing kit
Pioneer low snow wheel kit

When all was said and done I spent more rebuilding than it cost me to buy and I did the gussets and paint myself (another $215 at Half Baked Coatings which is a great deal but I'm in Canada). If you buy on price you might find that an Expert X or ZX2 in good shape is going to cost the same as buying a Mono and putting all that work into it and you might get better Hyfax life and performance with the other skids too.
