Guys, after the Kachess 159" revelation I am considering going from my beloved 151" out to a 159". I have the right tunnel extesnion to do so.

I also ave a 141" M7 skid with a 151" track on it and I want to go to a 159" and that's an 8" difference so I'd need a 4" Arctic Cat rail extension, right?

THIS IS A STUPID QUESTION BUT YOU HAVE HAVE 144 INCH SKID WITH A 151 TRACK HOW DID YOU DO THAT. I WOULD LIKE TO GET A NEW REAR SKID FOR MY RX1 BUT I DONT NEED TO GO TO NO 151 CAN I GET A REAR SKID OUT OF A F7 INSTEAD OF A M7 SO I CAN RUN A 144 OR DO I NEED A 136 TO GET A 144 I KNOW IT SOUND LIKE A STUPID QUESTION BUT I AM NEW TO THIS AND WOULD LIKE TO LIGHTEN UP MY RX1 A BUNCH I HAVE DONE THE UNDER TUNNEL EXHAST AND HAVE GONE TO THE LONGER TUNNEL EXSTENSION CAN YOU FOLKS HELP OUT

Bent, first off wlecome aboard.

We will be happy to help you with your questions.

Second, all capital letters are equated to YELLING!

I'm not too familiar with the specifics of your question. I would suggest you check the forum titled "aftermarket suspension". I think the specifics you need to put an F7 skid under your RX-1 are probably there.

Best of luck

i would think a 4" extension would work. i would go with a 6" if they have one just in case, then you have room to tighten and loosen accordingly.

Skid out of an f-7 is set up for a 13.5" wide track with only the 2 inside wheels on the rear axle. I would go with a 141" suspension from an M7 for your setup. ;)!
 
Go with the 153" length rails for the 162" track and than relocate it up 1 1/2" in the tunnel for your 159" track. Pullback is never good anyways. Might as well get it closer to those drivers!
