You can put on a set of fox floats, i believe i had 19" center to center on mine. And then you can adjust the heighth of the sled, with no problems.

WOW!!!!!!

Put 16" on mine and boy is it tall with the narrow front end. Do some research on that one before you buy.

I cant believe that this would even work properly and not bind. 19 iches? Do they even have any travel? 17 inches doesn't even work that well. 16 3/4 ctc is the most I would go.

When you do this you run a fine line between helping the sled and making the sled dart and handle terribly.

Yea 19 is whay to long for a gen 2 I have 15.5 on mine and that's with sks rods so it's wider what ever you go with the genral rule is +or - 1 inch from stock if you do to much the steering and outher stuff binds up or you need to go wider for longer shocks but you are not getting much taller.
