I want to add two more wheels to the rear of my 2014 pro rmk.

Can I just order the switchback pro rear axle, the outside spacers and then get two more of my rmk wheels. Use my center spacer.

Looks like that should work since the bearings are the same.

thanks if anyone knows for sure before i order

Did you just buy 2 more wheels and cut your spacer on the axle to do that. Guess that could work. Anyone know why this wouldn't be ok????

No I am putting a turbo on this (its on) and want more insurance for it to handle the extra power. Also i don't want a $9 bearing to ruin a trip, so 4 wheels is some insurance that i won't have to repair on the mountain because one lousy bearing went bad.

thanks

Wheels

Go to the HCS (hard core sledder ) site and into the RMK/switch back page, and offer a trade, yours for theirs off a SBA 144. Could try it on here as well, just not as many SBA guys on here. Shipping would be the only cost.

SBA's only come with 3 and the idlers have a rubber tire on them for running studded tracks.

Personally If I was going to do it I would order an ice age billet axle for 4 wheels. Going to be an improvement in every way over a stock or pieced together setup..
