You will need to extend the tunnel. Lots of ways to make an extension. Just depends on how much time, effort, and what you want it to look like when you are done. Or you can still purchase them from some retailers.

Here is one I built for a friend last year. I also built the rail extensions.

wow nice build, you inspire me lol...is that suspension stock? looks realy high

Stock suspension but we made some rear drop brackets. The old phazers would always drag the snow flap. I raised it something like 2 inches which is just about right. You can see the brackets a little bit in one of the pictures. The extension was made out of steel and for the roll on the edge I found a piece of pipe same outside diameter as the tunnel and turned it down on my lathe to just fit snug inside of the factory rolled edge and then welded it to the extension. This added extra support for the extension when lifting the rear of the sled. You could make the same out off aluminum ,which I wanted to do but at that time was unable to weld aluminim. I think I still have the templates for the drop brackets if you need some measurements.

That is a sweet tunnel ext. You should sell those. That is the best one I've seen yet. I also need one.

You got those dims and any pics of the templates?

Any one think it it would look weird if you ran a tunnel extension with a stock 121 track?

looks good

Looks good how does it ride. I have 3 phazers and have wondered about lifting them up a bit with stock tracks and skids. how thick is the metal to make the lifters?
