Has anyone stretched a 137 skid to 146?

[burlyviper]

Hello,
Is it possible to extend a 137 skid to 146? I have a 18 SW LTX LE and would like more track for off trail riding.
Thanks.

Bump. I have a similar interest. Thinking of replacing rails with Iceage or Nextech CF in 146" length but same or similar geometry. And a 146 Ice Cobra. Thoughts?

Same tunnel as 141 I believe.

The 146 Cross-Action skid in the Riot looks a lot like the Slide-Action Dual Shock SR from the front to the rear arm. Then there is no rod with transfer blocks and the rear wheels are farther back. I would not extend tunnel, only make the flap removable.

Has anyone ever used tracks usa rail extensions to convert a 137 to 146?

Not sure if it helps, but my 2020 xtx has the same length tunnel as the 153.

Yeah I wouldn’t be extending the tunnel just rails

I am doing the switch this year. From 137" rip2 1;25 to 146" cobra 1;35

My plan was to use 141" rails but they need more modifications than i was expecting to have exact 137" geometry ...:-/.
I will do the "real thing "next summer. This year it's gonna be rails extensions.

@SnoNinja did his turbo viper. Custom rails using all 137 components and keeping 137 geometry.

Byam, have you collapsed it all the way? It appears like it will be very close to contacting the snow flap.
Nice track choice, I like the 1.35 Cobra

Yes sir ! The 148"track will not fit ....

I was on the fence to go 144" 2;52 or 146" ... I have had a very good deal for the 146"

Old thread, but @byamhow did you like them rail extensions? Been riding with a buddy with a 146 xtx and was debating extending mine.
