Looking for some set up help!

[blindskydiver]

Hi Guys,

I've been out of the sledding scene for a couple years now and am finaly getting back in the game. Been gone so long I had to start a new account on here, anyway, I'm looking for some help from you guys. I'm a big guy (275 before gear and I'd like to get my sled set up right for a trip to Island Park.

I've got an 06 Xfire 7 sno pro. It only has a 1.25 track, so I realize that has to go! Can I fit a 141 under it without extending the tunnel, or for that little of a gain do I just stick with a 2" challenger 136"? I was reading in another thread about loosening up the front limiter and softening up the front float shocks, is this correct?

Anything else I can do to help a fat guy in alittle coat make it up the friggen hill? I realize the sky is the limit with what I can do to this sled, but the pocket book does have a limit

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

x-fire set up

i put a 144x2 on mine with no tail extention just rail extentions form ole's machine. also take off the sway bar, my limter straps arn't adjustable. cut the snow flap 2inchs so that the track can clean out so you don't recycle the same snow. i run 65psi in the front shocks. i can go everywhere my buddy 08 xp 154 goes.

rails

i put 162 rails in my mxz and used my 121 sus, so i would buy 144 rails or extensions and use your 136 sus works great!

Thanks for the info hllrazor. You can fit 144" under your crossfire? I was thinking a 141 was going to be close. What year is your xfire? Nice to know you don't have any clearance issues even with the suspension fully compressed. Hmmm, I may have to think about 144"

For your size give the 144 some serous thought for IP (NO i'm not saying your fat you just have big feet)

If a 144" will for sure fit, I think I will deffinatly be going that route. You know, because of the feet
