136x1.75 backcountry or 144x2 challenger?

[crossfire879]

Trying to decide if the 144 rail extensions and 2" challenger track is gonna be worth it. I have a 08 crossfire and the stock 1.25 ripsaw sucks so I want to upgrade. I am up in mcmurray, we don't get feet upon feet of fresh powder but we still get a nice dumping through out the year. The only trail riding I do is to find better play spots or rip up the river for a bit but I like to ride in the backcountry for the most part. Hope to make a trip or two out west also. Anyone out there do the extensions? Is it worth it or should I just slap on the 1.75 backcountry and leave the stock 136 rails?
Thanks

Both are good options. A few CF riding friends when the 1.75 Backcountry and loved. Many on places like Arctic Chat went to the 144 and love it. I'm running the 141 Cobra 1.5 this which to me is the middle. Really like it so far.

Hey, I am in the exact same boat as you. Pretty sure I am going to extend to the 144x2in. Most riding is flatland stuff but plan on heading west more. JMO
