Looking to extend my 06 RTX to a 136".. Was interested in the cobra track but with the 1.325 lug height.. I am interested in studding this track and just wondering if anyones tried it or had clearance issues?? any help would be great!!

The Cobra track only has 1.325" lugs on the outside and 1.25" on the inside. Regardless, use woody's 1.450" megabites or gold diggers and your golden. You may get scuffing on your exhaust shield but thats as far as it will go as long as you use proper track tension.

Thanks tttario!!
I just put that combo in my Attak. On the Ripsaw I had Woody's 1.325 Megabites.. no issues.
To be safe with the 1.450's I added this:

Riveted them onto the stock tunnel protectors. Pretty much the same stuff hyfax is made out of.

I have been running 1.450" Gold Digger studs with 128" CObra track without any complaints. Keep the track tension within factory specs and you won't have any issues.

I would not recommend extra protection on tunnel/heat exchanger protectors, you will notice loss of top end.
Loss of top end?
Track doesn't balloon up that way under acceleration, it balloons down towards the snow in front of the skid. Run your track too loose and the track goes straight down off the drivers and pounds the snow then oscillates back across the slide rails in a wave. Bigtime loss of top end there.
It will if your doing 100 and hammer the brakes it will balloon up toward the exhaust.
If it ratchets bad, it will balloon toward the front heat exchanger.
