Im going to be doing this to my '12 when i order a new sled. Either this summer or next. Here is a link to a thread i started, was kinda wondering a few things myself, before i for sure decide. Others posted some links in it to Darcy's and others that have done so...

I will definitely be chopping my tunnel down, and doing some other mods when i get around to doing it.
'12 is a good year due to the chaincase. Which i plan on using lots of gearing set ups. Lots of track options for 144 & 146. And i think its even doable for going 144 and running 146 tracks. Ive thought a 1.25 or 1.35 track with a few studs may be good, and being able to throw on a 2.5" for a back-up sled out west would be ideal. But ill prob end up going 1.5" for midwest and just forget the studs. No tunnel protectors, can use one driver setup, and i havent used studs in a decade in the midwest (really havent missed em).
The 155 Pro is definitely doable riding in the midwest, but it is a handful.
