    Argo Bigfoot super tracks rubbing

    Hi,
    Yesterday I installed my super tracks on my Argo Bigfoot using the wheel spacers, 22x10x8 tires and the tracks. I put 5psi in the front and middle tire and 6psi in the back tires as told to do by the Argo dealer. After I finished putting them on, which was very hard, I took it just down the trail and they were rubbing under the body. Anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? Thanks in advance

    Drop tire pressure to 3 psi maximum.

    My new beer holder spilled some on the trails - in it's hair and down it's throat.
    Joe Camel never does that.

    Advice is free, it's the application that costs.

    The tracks become more loose if I drop the tire pressure.

    I attach at the rear on my bigfoot and on the tire somewhere. I use a wide ratchet stap to pull the track ends together. Deflate the rear tires and the front makes it easier. I also made a connecting pin out of same diameter stainless rod from home depot. I bent one end into a U shape for easy handling and cut to length with enough to thread a washer and nylock nut on the end. Once the pin is started I can use a second ratchet strap or remove the first and place further along the the two links trying to connect. Once connected air up the tires and go. Never really easy but not bad once you get the hang of it.

    We took a half link out of track, tried different air pressures. Still hits body as soon as you get a little speed. Took a full link out and put half link back in. Same thing. The tracks start to bounce with speed and hit the body. Air pressure doesn't seem to matter. Confused now....

    maybe you can add another set of wheel spacers so the tracks are even farther away from the body.

    It's the top of tracks that hit against the wells, not hitting inside. Middle of track seems to flap and bounce up onto the lip of the body that comes out. Going to try more air tonight... stay tuned.

    Is your tub sagging at all? Just wondering if the body is sagging and hitting the tracks because of that?
