What all is needed? Do the suspension arms bolt up to new rails? I will be ordering IceAge rails as opposed to cat rails.

Track will be a Camo Extreme 2.5, will drop from arm to 2013 location.

Sled has 2014 secondary and m gears.

Thanks, Brad.

Everything is the same just need the longer rails

It seems like a better choice to get longer rails over extensions, is that correct?

Thanks, Brad.

I would do the rails over the extensions. Cleaner looking. Ice age is probably stronger too. I actually purchased a complete m8 rear suspension and track when I did mine

Ahh, I am going to get ice age rails, track is still undecided. Will either be 2.6 PC or 2.5 extreme.

Thanks, Brad.

Go with the 3". Had the 2.5" last year and the 3" is way better.

Problem is I still ride trails sometimes. I want to get a trail sled in a few years.

The 3 is also way more cash. The 2.5 wi do everything I want.

Yeah. Depends on what you want it for I guess.

Either way, going from a 141x2.25 to a 153x2.5 or 153x2.6 is a major change

I love my 2.5 CE, just make sure you have some scratchers.

I have done it and it is a blast to ride.

I wouldn't lower your front arm bolt unless you do a anti stab kit. The High Country has a longer front arm shock already and doing both to me looked like trouble.

I just did rail extensions, but Ice Age makes a great product and I'm sure that is a better choice.
