Converting an Assault to a Pro

[t30mg]

Picked up an 18 assault with 155x2.6 that needs a-arms and a shock.
Didn't like the wide front end so I picked up a complete pro front end on SnoWest but want to also add extensions and 163.

I know the track topic has been beat to death here but cant seem to find what I'm looking for in the search bar.

I want a track that will run with stock drivers and work well in Cascade Concrete.

Also looking for clutching and gearing suggestions since the assault came stock with a chain case.

I will be trying 19/41 gears this year with a 163 under my sks with a 2.6, comes in around 2.4 ish ratio. You can get the challenger 2.5 new from tracks usa for 675 and they are tad stiffer then 2.6 and work good. Come clipped every window and much more durable then the 2.6 imho. You get 45 bucks off rail extensions from tracks usa if you order track at same time. 2.86 drivers you can leave in. If you have the pro front end and shocks you could swap to pro rails also and move center shock mount up then you will basically have a pro. 2012 on up pro rails will work, 2011 will also but are tipped up in rear for better trail manners. Feeding you what i think to be accurate but I do not own a assault. I am doing what I hate and being a keyboard mechanic. I do have 13 rmk pro rails under my sks and all the geometry is the same. The only difference i could find worth noting is that the axys has a little longer rts shock in the rear skid so if you use axys rear shocks you must use the rear sizzor and link rod from axys and vise versa for pro. I basically have a pro skid in my axys now (long story) and cant tell the difference.

Pro front end on my 17 assault. It’s the 36” alternative impact which is awesome. I switched to 19/41 gearing but then went to 19/42 last year. I might go to 19/43 this year. I redrillled the front skid arm to the upper hole like a pro which was noticeable. Other than that clutch it in your favorite brand and flavor. I left mine a 155
