I have a buddy with a 13 Polaris 800 assault with the 144x1.5". We re going to togwotee and he wants to extend her out to a 155 x 2 or longer lug. What do we need? I m assuming rail extensions from tracks USA. What pitch track is the assault? Can he go to the 155x2.4"? Also looking for clutching help. Thanks in advance and if anyone has any parts for sale to help us out let us know.

Is a tunnel extension necessary when going from a 144 to 151?
Tracks USA has a 159 kit or go 146 with new drivers
I just did that job with a 2010 assault. 146 to 155. worked really well. 2.86 pitch on both tracks. didnt change drivers. didnt need tunnel extension. i went with the 5.1 camoplast. slp rail extensions. changed gears and clutch weights to match a stock 155. track was expensive!
I just did a 10 assault also (146-151) I put in a 151 2.4 off a 06 900 I had to change the drivers to 252 no rail extensions or tunnel extensions moved the suspension back 2" still mounted on the stock tunnel brackets just drilled new holes worked out great I did turn the mud flap back a little
So is it a 144 or a 146? the 144 takes 252 drivers
Outside of a 2 or 2.25 144 2.52 pitch drop in track, increasing work and cost for marginal gain. Don't know gearing on a SB, but you may have to swap there, too, for the bigger track. One or more gears and possibly a chain. Unless he really wants to convert it permanently for deeper snow by going to a 155 or longer (then I'd go at least 159, which can be had in 2.52, otherwise the 144 to 151 ain't really gonna do that much).
If it's just for one trip a year, his riding ability will be more important than a few inches of track length. Also, snow conditions on that trip will dictate the value when you get there - you could get setup snow, tog isn't always bottomless pow, with less value for a long and deep track. Depends on the dude's ability, riding pals, and longer term plans for the sled. If it's really deep when you're there, could rent for a few days, too, combined with riding the SB. FWIW. Good luck.

Tracks usa, just call them and they will hook you up.....thats what they do. They have a 159 kit designed for the assault for cheap, and might even be willing to deal on it. Just call them. Stock gearing will have to be changed, prob has 23/39 (gearing for 1.35 stock) and I would change to 20/42 (gearing for the 2x144 stock) and use the stock chain. You could dump as much as you want into the clutching, but at a min you will have to get some lighter weights 64's I would think (sea level stock is 66's), and have a set of 62's on hand If it wont pull 8200. Or Just get the dealer 144x2" set up for over 6000' and it should work good even with the longer track. Other wise your spending enough money that you could just trade the thing in on a RMK, an trade again when you get home. Track swap=$400-500, clutching $100-300, gears=$75-100. Could be a grand deep.....
