questions on tracks for MAX IV

[tonyk72]

What comes with a factory track kit?
Bearing cages, hub extensions, tracks, what else?

From what I've read, I'd need 21" tires...but would the 22" Goodyear Rawhide III work? Thought I saw a post where someone said you could use those.

The factory track package also has a side plate that bolts to all three bearing cages. It acts as a third frame member. The factory tracks require 21x11x8 tires. I have heard of but not seen aftermarket tracks that are supposed to run the22x11x8 tires.

You're correct, that's what comes with the track kit......hub extenders, and bearing cages and the side plates. The side plates bolt all the bearing cages together for added strength and rigidity.

The 22" Rawhide III tires won't work with tracks, only the 21" Rawhides. Plus the 21" Rawhides are a harder tire so they're better suited for the tracks compared to the softer 22" Rawhide III.

Would I risk damage to solid axle's or anything else if I run tracks without the bearing cages?

If you're using it in the snow or soft terrain where you're not bouncing it off of obstacles in the trail you should be alright.
