If you ride alot and get an opportunity to switch between several sleds you can absolutely feel the difference in widths. I would prefer the stock width at the widest for this sled and for it's intended purpose. That said it's a rediculously easy sled to ride off camber so durability is my main thing. Remember that shock setups and rear suspension setups also cause the sleds to react and feel different. My PRO has a total Fox setup over holz. It's absolutely AWESOME to ride. Based on comments others have stated I'm pretty sure I'd have at least three or four sets of stock a arms ruined by now.
