I'm 5 6 140pounds ridin on the 165 Troublemakers; thinkin of a step up to the 175's (165's broke in the middle). Anyone riding on a setup similar to this or any suggestions with the upgrade? Any input is good input

if you hit bigger tables and want more stability in the air and when you land, yes. i was about that big last year and i got the 175s, never regretted it since, now im on 180s (i grew a inch or two)

I'm 5'7, 130 and I ride on 180's, 175's will be fine for you

If your 5'6, I'd say the 165's are pretty good for you. No need to buy new skis, they don't NEED to be longer

the 165s are still a good size. But since one ski broke and you are probably growing it couldn't hurt to go 175.
