Not sure if this has been covered in any of the past threads about using grippers, but you might want to consider an alternative to the stock poo ski rubbers. They wear out quickly, and when they do the ski will flip straight up at times and stop you in your tracks.
Here's the thread from the pro section. clicky
I used the skidoo rev rubbers and they worked great on the pro.

Did not want to buy the Poo hard wear etc.
I used a aluminum bur on a die grinder to remove one ridge so the gripper had a flat saddle bottom like a M ski

I have both the metric 10-11 and the standard 7/16 bolt in the 09-07 I went with the 7/16 bc I had new bolts on hand. I drilled out the bushing on the the Poo ski and the four washers. To drill out the ski bushing I used a piece of pipe with a ID of 5/8 cut off a inch then cut a slilt in it removed burs and inserted ski bushing then into the vise used lots of lube and drill it out , I used a bit two sizes smaller then 7/16 then used 7/16. Then I used a piece of 1/2 thick plastic to get the saddle bottom to 7/8 from bolt center.
This is how I did it, I searched and never found the info I was after so I have posted this in this existing thread.

Gripper ski years
What year do you select for the correct gripper skis?

I have a 2009 M8 I am looking at buying the gripper skis for. This seems like a decent price then what carbides are you guys buying to put on the ski?
So grind a ridge down on the ski and you can use all the cat hardware to mount the ski up?
Thanks

I think they are all the same. I honestly don't know if there is a difference from the 09 rmk to the 14 ski
