ive got a '10 M8, 162, and i put on the 2.6 80 duro the other weekend. got out this past weekend and what a difference. first was the fact the front end was always in the air. second i noticed that it wanted to climb! i'm still in the R&D phase as i want to get some more rides on it, in different snow conditions and different riding areas, before i can really say "it was a good decision". buuut, i'm kinda leaning that way anyway :)

one question i do have is, did anyone gear lower when putting the 2.6 on? if so how did you like it afterward?

Nope no block under it. I'm going to try some suspension adjustments next time out. If they don't help going 162.

During the off season you want to store your sled with the track off the ground as this should help. Also, it really doesn't take much to put a 2x4 under the track when you get done riding.

I turned the adjustment ring on my front track zero pro down a bit (less threads showing) to try to keep the front of the sled from coming over. Guess what, it worked! I climbed a steep hill last weekend and just knew I was going to have problems but, the front end only came up so far and stopped. I was happy.

How many threads showing and how much inthe rear? Thanks
