Since I am going with the 1.5" Freeride, I figured I would install a set of ice scratchers. I copied the plans I found here.
The spring was $2.76 at Home of Economy in Grand Forks, ND. I made spacers out of some UHMW I had picked up at Lee Valley. A little bending to get the right amount of down pressure.
I think they will work out OK.

Yes they do work well...until you go into reverse. You gotta remember to retract them when you do.

They don't have a store in Winnipeg.
Never had any issues in reverse, the way these are designed they will just flop over and not break.

I can count on a butcher's hand the number of times I use reverse each season

How about when you have to take it out the back of the truck? How about when you have to turn around on a narrow trail? How about when you pull up to the restaurant and park up to the wall, sucks when you have to swing the #*$&@ end around. My last sled didn't have reverse and Im glad this one does.

I just pull the sled off the trailer then start it up. No effort to it. When I park at a restaurant I always turn the sled around or find a spot to park that I can drive through. Not saying I never use reverse I'm just saying I don't use it much. But yes it is a pain to man-handle around when you have to.
Mt sled doesnt have reverse and although I wouldnt mind having it I have gotten by up to this point.
