I have a 2007 arctic cat f1000 with a 128" track was thinking about putting rail extensions on it to make it a 136" track, couple of questions I hope someone can answer. Looking to add it on for ride improvement, are the extra 8" of track going to make that big of difference? Are there tunnel extensions that have to or should be installed and if so any idea at to where or how do I get them? Without going nuts because I mostly trail ride, however do occasionally go off trail, what is the tallest lug track that can be installed without tunnel issues. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Talk to Tracks USA to confirm, but I had an 07 f8 and I looked at doing an rail extension however I never followed through. I don't remember if it's possible or not due to the cooler running back through the tunnel and behind the track. I think you may be able to get to 136 but no way any farther without major renovations. I always thought the sled was great on the trail, I was looking at doing it in the hopes of better off trail abilities. I did put a 1 5/8" Cobra track on it with no issues, that coupled with some SLP skis and Bergstrom triple points made it ride really well. Sorry I'm not giving you exactly the answers you're looking for, but just wanted to share what my experience was.
No worries, those are the answers I am looking for, I also had the same concerns about the cooler, and was wondering if that 8 inches of track was even worth the effort, This is my first rider forward sled and am sure will be a major improvement over what I was riding before, I have a opportunity to purchase a set of 136" rails, 8" of track is not that much more than stock and have doubts of how much it will change or improve. Thank you for the info on lug height and I appreciate the response
