Turbo and Track Extension Stock Suspension

[FriscoProx]

Just ordered a turbo kt and wondering how unmanageable the sled will be with stock suspension and track, and how much doing an extension to 162" with a CE would help. I don't think there's any way I'm gonna be able to upgrade suspension this year. For the people with turbo's and stock suspension, are there any setups that are working for you.

Thanks
Mike

if you just put on extensions youll have more transfer because theres more rail and track past the rear arms of the skid creating more leverage to compress the suspension.

I tried it on my nytro....even got the heavy springs, ice age straight rails and good rear shock....great on the trail....up hill forget it. Now have a timber skid and its great....just way to much transfer

I ran 1700km on the stock skid, extended the rear transfer rods to the red, sucked up the limiter a hole, big diference. Can climb quite vertical, feels like it's going to come over but once used to it not so bad. I'm going to the timber 162x16x2.5 camo for this fall. Sure it would be fine with stock skid unless your in the bullpen. I am a light rider so make a huge weight transfer diffence also

i've got rail extensions for a 162 if you want. just got my ice age 162's so will be running that this year.

I never ran the stock suspension and a turbo but did run the stock rails with rail ext and 162 CE all last season with a timbersled. Tipped up rails are fine unless you start going up the real steep stuff. For normal deep climbs it is kind of fun
