What do you think of going to a wider track, do you like it?
Edge 16 inch wide track thoughts

Last year I had the stock 159x15x2 poo series 4 track, stock skis and stance. I could throw the sled around pretty easily. It was playful but still long enough to climb pretty well.
This year I have a 174x16x2.5, narrowed radius rods 1" each (2" narrower ski stance) in hopes of offsetting the wider track, and upgraded to Gripper skis. Its significantly less playful, but climbs like a motherf. I wanted better climbing, as I usually use my sled for snowboarding access, but its not as fun as the old setup if you're sidehilling or just carving around.
If I did it over (the 174", or any track upgrade for that matter) I'd go with a 15" wide. The 16" wide seems to rub on the sides during cornering too.

well here is what i was going to do. 151 inch 16 track, wahl anti sprockets. use the 144 suspension and move it back. Put an offset axle in backwards and use 8 inch slydogg fan blade wheels. 8 inch drop brackets.
I want to get away from trenching.
ideas? thoughts?
