My track is shot and I'm looking for a new one. Every dealer or parts store I've gone to has told me something different as far as the lug hight is concerned. I ordered a 1.25" high track and was told not to use it because it would hit the heat exchanger and tunnel but, the parts book says it will fit that sled year and model. Does anyone have this sled or know someone with this sled that can help me with this problem? It seems that the dealers all have there own Idea about what will and what will not work. I just want my sled running. (Just in case we get some snow this year.)

Any help would be appreciated.

I put the 1" track on mine to be safe and after getting it on I could have went with the 1.25". The only problem i seen is that if you needed studs they could get into the front heat exchanger and if you would get into some rough trails or jumping they would get into the tunnel. So if you want the 1.25 it will work and in harsh trails or jumping the track itself would rub a little once in a while.
