Just rent a new mountain sled. That is what I would do. If it breaks on you while your out there you will get a replacement for no cost, if your's breaks, you are screwed.

If you do decide to take yours, jetting and clutching for your elevation is a must.

144" track you say? Then just ride it bud, garuntee you will be stuck but a 144" will do just fine.

you'll do just fine aslong as you dont want to do some wyckyd highmarking or something, my bud rides a 144 summit 700 around here and shows me up on my 151". and we get more snow then fruitvale.

Set ur rear skid like this

tighten the limiter straps to keep the front closer to the machine. but not toally tight.
A loose rear or the skid. put your springs on light. this will prevent trenching better.



2000 Summit 700 Highmark 159"
The Thing Can
Mountain Fit hood
Gravity Worx Racing - RSI Riser kit
SPI Pistons
Mount Machines Freedom Offset Axel 8"
Fabcraft Trailing Arms and Radious Rods
Camo Challenger 159"

NEED MORE POWER!

Dont tighten your limiter strap loosen it so to get more track on the snow and it gives a better angle for flotation and climbimg.And a stiffer suspension is better IMO then lightened up one.The stiffer the less sag you will have when trying to rip the sled around.



Marriage is like playing cards,if you dont have a good partner you better have a good hand!!

Wives are like a deck of cards: You need a heart to love them;A diamond to woo them;A club to beat them;And a spade to bury the body!

This may just make him trench hardcore, sometimes the angle is just to great. I wouldn't go all the way loose with limiter strap.
