Find some steel pencil rod and insert it into the round part of the boards.That should help.

Rox Sled Treads, if u can find a set. one of the best upgrades if u ride aggressive. IMO.
Had good luck with the fishbone braces.
Cheapest fix is to drive 5/8" steel rod in from the back. You can get it at Home Depot or your favorite hardware store. You just have to drive it right through a rivet or 2 at the back and then all the way until it recesses maybe a half inch. The other options suggested are good too.

x2 i have done this to a couple of my sleds, makes a hell of a difference. right down the rolled edge of the boards. been a while but 5/8 sounds kinda big, thought it was a little smaller than that but i used a stainless rod, didnt even have to rivet the ends, tight fit, i really had to drive it in there for the second half of the distance. i dont think its going anywhere, rode em a few years and they never started to come out or anything. sometimes you can run accross the braces also like what came stock on some of the 04 s models
the treads help also, i got lucky and found on ebay someone who had cutt of their boards on a nytro. i got em for 10 bucks and cut em to fit on my boards, but you dont find that happening everyday. lol was good for me i guess, have a feeling they regreted it though.
