Being toying with doing this the last couple of seasons, but I'd like to get some input from people who have done it. Specifically in regards to increased speed. I am happy enough with skid after re valving to a multi stack in both shocks and re springing the front shock to a Hygear dual rate spring. Guys on here talk about the speed of the warriors and I don't see that the skids are much different except the length. Looking at 128 or 136, very happy with my sled's trail manners just want more going across the lake. Not ready to change skid right now, even though that is what the majority do, as I said, I am happy with the ride. Track is showing signs that this may be its last season, so I thought I'd get some input. Also wondering about the fatigue on the rails at the back arm location, seen pictures of cracks there, I think extensions would add extra stress there, anybody seen this happen?

i put a hartman 136 in my apex mono, swichrd gearing to attack 23 tooth n put extro drivers, not one problem so far, also did this years back to my viper, 136 hartman kit with zero problems, best thing i ever did to both sleds, i would highly recommend it!
I run the 23 gear as well, did you gain any speed with the conversion?

another bonus was the sled just looked better, it looked more proportioned, it took on a better more meaner looking stance!!

I have a set of custom made billet aluminum solid 136" rails for the CK skid. They were made by muffin works.
Thinking of an Ice attackXT or a studded hacksaw.
Mr. Sled, or any of the worldly gentleman on this site, how do we pm now, I don't see the icon anymore on the new web page.
