Kingcat track tension

[scotth]

I did some searching about track tension on Kingcats but I did not really find a definitive answer. How tight should I run my track on a 2004 Kingcat 162"? I have Sledjunky drop brackets if that makes a difference. What is the proper method for setting the tension?

Thanks, Scott

get the back end off the ground and take a tape and at the lowest point measure between the track and the hyfax you should be about 2" of sag. this is a good start point if it ratchets turn it up one turn at a time until it doesn't.
I run mine at about 2.5" of sag.

So it should sag under its own weight, not pushing down on it? Thanks, Scott

under its own weight.

i think with sled junkies you have to run it tighter than stock.as the track doesn't get tighter and the susp compresses

Ron from SJ wrote me back today, he said 1"-1.5" with his brackets.

i have the sj brackets and a 2 wheel kit and still run 2.5" with 8t extro with no problem.
