Has anyone ever taken the 4 front idler wheels and flipped them to the inside of the rails? from what i can see all you have to do is flip the mounting bracket to the inside. I thought that doing this might put more pressure on the center of the track where all my studs are and possibly give better hookup. slide wear shouldn't be an issue cause the wheel will sit the same distance away from the slides but just on the inside of the rails instead. anyways if anyone has tried this let me know if it helped. something i might try this winter for fun to see what happens.
 

I don't think you can do this. Seems to me if the suspension bottoms out, you would hit the w-arm and rear scissors. Not sure mind you, but I seem to remember when I stretched my Viper that the rails didn't clear these parts by very much. You could try a dry run by flipping and pulling your shocks. Hold the rear of the sled up and collapse the suspension. Hope I helped !!
 
yea u put them on the inside 99.9999% sure ull lose them and ur rails the first bump u hit. with the W arm on the proaction the engineeres didnt leave much room for any changes.
 
a no no!!!

When I needed aplace to put ice scratchers on the rail,I moved 2 idler wheels to the inside.They did not last to long,they got chewwed up badly.
