Please help with a Studding Problem

[Mrplow]

I am currently studding a 1 1/4" bombardier track that has 2000 miles on it. The track seems to have some wear as the recomended 1.325" studs penetrate a 1/2" beyond the top of the lug (recomended is a max of 3/8"). Have only installed one and it seems to "stick" past lug hiegth a lot-is this going to be a problem? Please help as we don't want to wait until tomorrow to get shorter ones, as we are going north to find big snow.

I have already installed 1" tunnel protectors.
Thanks in advanced for any info.

What, nobody knows if this will be all right?

Should be OK. I went a little taller in my Polaris and loved it. It worked out great!

You will also want to check the clearance at the bulk head. I ran longer studs in my Machz's and had to run the track tight otherwise it would hit the bulkhead at speeds over 100 or during sudden braking.

that track muct be worn. 1.325 studs don't really stick out past the lugs on a 1 1/4 track that far.
my doo buddies run 1.375 in their 1" tracks, but with thicker protecters than stock.
I put 1.375 in my ripsaw 1 1/4. In my rtx, I ran some speed runs with no problems.
