I put a 146" x 1.75" track on my '13 SBA. Just changed the drivers to 2.86. Plenty of room on the rear wheels to take up the extra length.

Track is broke in, and tight per spec. Plenty of room with a 146x2.4 series 5.1 Polaris track with RMK 2.86 drivers. Sled is amazing in the deep stuff!

Throw on a Comp and Extros/ antistab .... Amazing trails and tail dragging wheelies all day long . Scares the bejeasous out of people going the other way ... I look like a Cockrocket going down the trail .. and it still corners on rails if you move up on the bars !!

Defiantly not the setup most are looking for but I ride backcountry here in Michigan and it defiantly has its advantages. I can throw the front over a log or bush at will and on the tail is the smoothest way through most swamps ..

I use a Pro RMK for out west so I'm not trying to change it for steep climbs were this would be the exact opposite of a good setup .. and I ride the trails just fine and in control when I need to .. but why would you if you didnt have to?? Just to be bored and pretend your on a Doo-Doo( rider forward haha suckers )

If I was to do it again I would get the parts to narrow my body also. Especially if you haven't done the boards yet .. the RMKs are narrower than Switchbacks .

Not sure of all the parts but for sure lower fenders and foot stirrups.
