Hey All thinking of building a new sled and want a Power Claw track, So thinking maybe I could fit a set of 151 rails in my Mtn with 9" rear wheels to take up the rest? Possible or should I go with 153 rails? Thanks

I am runnning a 156 on my 04 with 153 rails. The rails are mounted the same distance from the drivers that the 159 rails were to keep all the angles right. if I can take up 3 inches I'm sure you could take up 2.

what about a 151 suspension set up in 153 rails?:face-icon-small-sho

The issue I'd see with that would be mounting points.

If you look, they're pretty different. Dimensionally they may not LOOK hugely off, but a difference of an inch in a rear suspension mounting point can be huge.

If you buy the older style M rails you can cut the factory mounting point off and bolt the 1M arm in exactly the same spot as it was with your stock suspension. Here is a picture of what I mean.
