This has worked great for me ... sled is still like this and will remain. I have since added an S-36 front end and my sled is hands down a better ride than any other 08-10 sled I have been on. I also updated my steering post to reduce steering effort by removing 10mm from the lower steering arm.
This is a great mod and retains the skids geometery. I have zero signs of bending in the shaft and the skid is able to bottom out on the rubber stops before the shock bottoms. I removed the springs from the shock and the torsions and cycled the suspension to be sure and IMO there is no down fall to the this mod.

The above link will further explain how to update your steering post for free.
After a season of beating the suspension I have decided the only thing I need to do is upgrade the crapy everst non rebuildable with a better shock.... and maybe a T-motion.
