Track extension?

[snowprozr]

I need some advise on extending my track from136 to 153!! I have a 2001 Arctic Cat zr snowpro. What is all involved and can anyone point me in the right direction. I don't mind learning while I wrench but need a little formal direction to get started. Thanks

Lots of options here, the limiting factor will be your budget. You will need a sled with a 153" track (dealer showroom) so that you can take some measurements for the suspension mounting points, a 153" suspension maybe or some rail extensions if you want to keep the 136", a tunnel extension, new drivers and the new track. You will also need some drop brackets for the rear possibly, because you will have to do a setback if you use the 136. Using the 136 you will be right at the limit for setback and rail extensions to go to a 153 IMO, I wouldn't go that route. You would have to set it back 3.5" and use 6" rail extensions. You could get 144" rails and transfer all the suspension parts as well. Might be easier to find a complete 144" suspension and just use rail extensions or do the setback (one or the other, but not both). Or find a 151" suspension and mount it use an 8" wheel on the rear to take up some of the track slack would be the easiest method IMO.
