I have been doing some reading on rear suspension rail failures (cracks, bends) and there seems to be some correlation between the failures and the addition of wheel kits. I'm thinking the kits maybe adding a twisting or radial stress to the rails.

Just looking for clairifacation.

Thanks.

Hmmmm........ my 07 Attak is in the shop right now for cracked rails. As of today, Yammi is denying the claim, and Cust. Service is supposed to call me back. No additions to my rails, sled is 100% stock.
 
Maybe you could add a choice to your poll to include wheels in all stock locations but replaced with the larger polaris or ski doo wheels. I have larger ski doo wheels on mine with 300 mi and no failures. This is also true for the other two Apex's I ride with.
