Do you lift your track off the ground wien not using it? IF SO... HOW??

[Cbayrep]

Just wondering how you guys store you sleds with the tracks off the ground. I have a switchback assault.

I was wondering if its alright to hang it by the back bumper on a stand or will this damage the bumper or stress the tunnel to much causing it to bend?

Whats the best method?

thanks

I don't have a stand so I use a 18" piece of 2x4 standing on the 2" side and put under track/rails and it raise the track off the ground.
Some day I will get a nice stand..

Trailer long distances the same way. 2 by fits between the lugs perfectly. Keeps lugs from taking a set.

I leave hung by the bumper all year

lifting track off the ground

2x4 works best over 3000 miles on my camo extreme no broke lugs any where.

Another 2x4 here.

2x4 here too... I also use a 2x4 wedged under the front bumper to relive the shock pressure while stored for longer periods. A 2x4 under the back tunnel where the heat exchanger comes across works well to take the weight off the rear shocks too.

A bit hard to see in the pic, but a box built with 2x4s, screwed to a dolly so I can roll her around in the shop. The long boards are between lugs.

Dude I bought my sked from was all about it, even had a 2x4 on end screwed to a dolly for the rear to roll around on!! When I picked it up he wouldn't let me leave without shoving a 2x4 under track on the trailer and funny enough it actually stuck there the 2.5 hour drive home over Berthoud. Personally, my track is on a dolly most of the time because it's slid around the garage a lot so there is only weight on one lug, maybe that's worse idk, but if stored in one place for extended period of time, why not throw a 2x4 under there, definitely isn't going to hurt anything.

I have the assault track, I don't worry about it to much lol

The owners manaul states that the sled should be stored with the wieght off the track. I have a home built stand that goes under the bumper. Difference is, mine has a steel bumper, I am not sure how the stock one would fare.

Funny ive never seen a dealer with the track off the ground on their units that sit for a couple years some times.

i have dollys. i put a 2x4 about 15 inches wide on the track one so it sits on that rather than the lug and i have 2 15" 2x2s on the ski ones to support the ski better than the carbides sitting on the ski dollys.

X2.....not a bad idea to get weight off the rear suspension along with the track. I've found it really keeps the torsion springs from sacking out prematurely over time. I also turn the tensioner blocks down to the softest setting if won't be riding for a week or two to help reduce spring fatigue also.

I've never worried about it....my vehicles have been on their wheels since day 1 and it hasn't affected the suspension or tires lol
