attak rear cooler protectors

[yamadog07]

i know i have seen it on this site but can not find.
when installing rear cooler on the attak with 1.325 studs.
what is the minimum height of cooler protectors that should be fabricated ?
i thought i read 1.5" height works well ?
can anyone confirm ?
any pictures ?

I read were a guy had problems and finally figured out 1 1/2 in. was needed. When I did mine I got 1 1/8 in. and left it. Well that worked for a while and one day I was checking and the fins were scraped.
I added an old slider to get it up to 1 1/2. This has held so far.
I don't notice any ride difference or bottoming damage with this.
There are so many posts here about the cooler it's hard to find this info. The guy I believed had pictures and had the dealer doing the work. He was lucky as the dealer took the bite and had to redo cooler and add clearances,etc.
Just taper the protectors down as you get near the upper wheels and away from the cooler or your track will hit more.

I run stock track,etc. with Woodys 1.325's that they recommend and track pattern and amount they recommend.
From what I read the Ripsaw is softer then other tracks and the lugs bend allowing the studs to penetrate up more. So this is why all the clearance is neccessary.

i had about 1.125 clearence including a slider on it last year.
i was still doing some dammage.
i have added a cobra track with 1.325 studs.
while everything is apart i am changeing tunnel protectors.
just looking for input. the guy before was blackattak. i found the posts.
was hoping to see some others, i believe a guy welded some bars on his last year, looked good, was wondering how it worked out and if i could get a picture.

Don't know about what a Cobra might change. Figure the damage its doing and build them up some more.
