I'M from Wisconsin and heading out to Togwotee with my 2013 switchback assault 144. Looking for some set up help, I weigth 210 lbs. I have a 2" track for it, bought 10-58 weights and the primary and secondary springs that Polaris tells you to run. 20 and 42 tooth gearing. What do you guys feel about that set up. Looking for any help so I'm set up good when I get there. Don't want to be wrentching the whole time I'm there If you know what I mean. Thanks
SWA set up for Togwotee

I took a Switchback Assault with the 2 inch track and low gearing out to West Yellowstone last year. I am 190 pounds. I followed the Polaris clutching recommendations exactly and it was spot on. I clutched for 8-10, used 60 gram weights and replaced both springs. I know overall Tog is higher than the West Yellowstone/Island park area, so you would probably be good with the 58's, but you might want to have some 60's along just in case. I was really impressed with what that sled could do out there.
No need to make alot of changes
I rode my 2012 SBA in West Yellowstone last year with 2" stock track and only changed the primary weights to 10-60. Nothing else changed. Spent 4 days in West Yellowstone around the Lions Head and cabin creek areas up high and was spot on. When coming down to base I would hit the rev limiter easily. No need to touch anything else in my opinion. The shorter track and shorter lugs requires you to be carefull and selective where you go depending on the snow conditions. After the first day i learned what not to do and where not to go so I would not get stuck. What a blast this sled is over the longer tracked sleds. Very playful chassis and quick. I am not a seasoned mountain rider but would highly recommend using this sled in the mountains. I weigh about 180 Canadian pounds.
Picture is from riding about 15 miles north of Lions head. Found a great spot to launch into deep powder. I am not catwalking but actually landing after launching off a short rise.

Yeah start with the 60g weights, 58 is probably too light unless you have a weird primary spring or are up at 10k.
Polaris 140/330 drive spring and LH/BLACK/PUL Driven spring and stock 64/42/.36 helix
