What's the max track length for an old XLT?

[ttyR2]

Have a triple piped '94 XLT and enjoy riding it, but could use some help getting around in deep powder. Currently it has an Xtra10 skid in it with a 136" track and I'm curious what's the max track length that it could spin reasonably well. I'm not talking about highmarking everything in sight, just getting around well (or better) in the deep stuff. Tracksusa has extensions that go from 136 to 151 or 159. This is pretty much the last mod I'll do to this sled before buying something new, but will keep it as a spare.

seen an ultra with a 151 edge suspension and tunnel extension on it, ran real well and rode good too

I installed a 151 on a 95 xlt special and changed the skid to the extra 10 from the 12 a couple of years ago. 151 with a big wheel kit. It made a world of diff. on the old sled. I don't think I would go any more than a 151 unless I had something longer laying around. Just not enough power.

I have seen a 159 on an xlt that was mostly stock. The guy geared it down quit a bit so it would only do 40 on the trail. Never saw it in action but heard it did OK.

We installed an edge suspension and a 174 on an xlt a couple of weeks ago to my suprise it works really well.

My particular XLT has Holz suspension parts and Fox Shocks in the Xtra10 skid. Do I need to worry much about making adjustments when I kick it out from 136 to 151? Will the suspension perform much differently than it does now?
