thanks,
i need to no some info about what track i need cuz i'm gonna start looking for a used track,
i'm gonna go with a 1.5 lug,by 136, and i need to no other stuff, like is my sled only capapble of one width track? should i just measure how wide my stock track is and bye that size? and what is the pitch of a track? i'm just trying to find out what stuff i need and if the pitch even matters,
thanx

pretty sure you have a 15 wide track, as for pitch it really doesnt matter. you will probly want some heavy springs.

pretty sure a 1.5 will fit, if not you will have to go down a tooth on your drivers.

alot of the time 136s only come with a 1 inch track cuz there is more flotation, but Im pretty sure you want more. I have extended regular sleds before with extions and they work great. a 136 will be way better in the pow.
