Rail replacement for 05' M7

[SnoPro753]

I have a 05' M7 141 that has cracked rails. I know this year was notorious for this. I have decided to replace them but I am not sure with what yet.

I am not interested in adding length to my sled at all. I ride a short lug track in flatlands also. I like to jump my sled and ride it hard so I need to replace them. I also am not interested in sinking a lot of money into this sled because I would like to get a new sled next year. (Don't buy all the 2010 M8s so their will be a leftover next year.)

I have found a few sets of rails here from another 05' for a good price, but I am fearful of the same thing happening again.

I hear the 2007 rails are the best rails in this length. I would like to use 09' Crossfire rails but I am not interested in going to a float conversion, too much cash.

Has anyone purchased a set of 141 rails from Ice Age and if so, how much?

Any other places/ideas?

Never heard of any issues
My brother, and others have 141 05s with lots of hard miles and jumping.
Where did they crack?
Post some pics if you can.

If you swap out for stock, or rails with same bolt pattern, do yourself a favor and do 1 side at a time... That way you don't have to mark anything and it is a straight forward install.

My m7 also had that issue though it does have the 153" track. Went with the 07 rails, everything looks good so far.

my 06 m7 153 had the same issue, i ended up going with iceage rails. i believe they were right around $350 a set which if i remember right was about the same for factory ones. so far they've held up ok, but when i got them there was one or two holes that they had forgot to drill that i had to measure and drill but other than that no issues yet and they look much better than the old ones.
