Fat guy on a little sled

Post by Bartman »

Quick question for any of the more robust jd guys out there. I’m more of a fan of the 76-78 big body sleds but recently thought of maybe buying a sport fire I found. I’m 6’1 and 260, I’ve heard they’re good handling just wondering. I think everyone was smaller back then haha

They are an excellent handling sled and I think you'll do fine with it. I'm 5' 11" and about the same weight and my Trailfire hauls me okay. Just find some of those rear spring riser blocks and it should work well for you. If you cant find any riser blocks, I think they'd be easy enough to make.
