Pretty sure I know the answer but just want to confirm. I'm extending my Apex to 144. If I go to a 1.75 Back Country, will I have to remove my tunnel Protectors ? With a 1.5 cross over I can leave them in...correct?

Wnen I installed a 1.5" lug track on one of my Apex based sleds the tunnel protectors needed to be removed for proper clearance.

Nice to know. I thought the 1.5 would clear. If I have to remove the protectors for a 1.5 then the 1.75 will be going on anyway

I have put 3 back country tracks on attaks and every owner said the samething as I, this is the way the sled should have performed out of the box. The back country turn this sled in a different animal. On and off trail.

Sounds like they will have to for the 1.75. Still looking for clarification on 1.5

Yes the protectors come out and skey01 it would be so close. All you have to do is flip the sled on it's side and measure.

you could drop the drivers down to 8 tooth and run the 1.75 with the protectors in. this will be costly with the new drivers and possible gear changes. you only need the protectors for studs anyway, and wont be studding a 1.75.

I pulled mine. Its that or you need to trim the paddles that are in line with the windows.
