Well i really need a bigger track for my nytro since i dont do much trail riding. I was thinking anything between 1.5 inches or 2 inches. I want a paddle track as well for the deep so i am kind of limited to only a few tracks. SO can a nytro possibly fit a 2inch by anyway?? and if not can it fit a 1 3/4 in any way?? thanks, i wanted to ask here because i dont trust my dealer.

If you don't change the drivers (stock is a 9 tooth) you can fit a 1.5" lug. I'm running a 1.5" and it just barely clears the protectors on the front exchanger.
You could go taller, but you would have to do some other changes ... such as remove the protectors, change to an 8 tooth driver, notch the track, or do a chaincase drop and roll are just a few options.
So to answer your question ... 1.5" will fit right in. Anything taller will take more mods.

Well say i go to 2 inch. Do any of you think it is possible to fit if i take out the protectors and go to an 8 tooth anti ratchet drivers . Also this may sound like a stupid question but how many drivers do i need to buy for this sled to replace the 9 tooth ones? thanks

Consider stretching out the suspension, tunnel and track while you're at it. That should give you the extra traction that you desire..

As Grimm said - yes, consider stretching to a longer skid ... this will not only get you more traction and better floatation in the powder, but it will ride much smoother too.
The front protectors are made from 1" square aluminum tubing. So if you remove them, you should have enough room to fit the 2" lug without going to a smaller driver size.
However there is another point of caution - but this only holds if you stretch the skid. At the rear of the tunnel is an aluminum casting where the muffler mounts. If you go to too tall of a lug without dropping the skid (as done on mountain sleds), your lugs could catch on that casting when your suspension compresses.
And with doing all this, you will also probably need to remove the main tunnel protectors too. But I'm not sure if there will be a clearance issue with the exhaust.
Regarding the anti-ratchet drivers ... you will only need two.
