I have a 22 khaos 155" and am looking to convert it to a 165" pro. I found a pair of take off pro 165" rails, but do I need to do anything special, or will this even work? Will pro rails and a 165" track be enough or do I need to change the front arm and track shock? Thanks for the help.

Suck in your limiter strap and you'll be wheelie a bit less. Going from a 155 khoas to a 163 pro is going to completly change the feel of the sled but if you want to go that way your better off going with the khoas rails incase you ever want to go back to having more playfulness. Running pro rails on a khaos front shock and limiter strap has potential for stabbing but if you adjust the limmiter strap to the stock pro length you should be fine with pro rails.
Do
Will the skid mount in the same hole it is in currently or move it to the other mounting hole?
A few 100 pack cases should last the rest of the season. That's the new currency for us polaris owners in the parking lots.
But same hole. The only thing that will make a difference is the limmiter strap.

Khaos 155 to Pro 165 is quite the change. Why not put on the longer rails, track and test for a few rides without changing the shocks/strap and see how you like it before changing anything more?
Hey, goride do, I may be interested in your Pro suspension parts. What would be the best way to connect?
Speaking of the limiter strap -- how much shorter is the one on the PRO? Somebody suggested a few months ago (and I forgot who and the details) that shortening the limiter strap a half inch (?) would also make it less tippy side to side. This makes no sense to me but at this point I'll try anything. In the case of my Khaos, when I first got it, it was either stuck to the ground or all the way over on its side.. there was no in between. I tightened up the low speed compression a bit and got it somewhat manageable but still very hard to hold it on one ski. Keep in mind this is on California's fairly set snow. I never did get a good powder day last year. Before the last ride of last season, I tightend up the preload 1/2" as well, as a friend's PRO had about 1/2" more preload. BUT, I got sick and didn't make it to that ride so I have no idea if it helped or made things worse.
My other thought would be to pick up a set of PRO front shocks.. I've seen used sets on eBay in the $400 range, but it seems that the adjustable ones on my Khaos should be able to be set to about the same thing. I dunno.

The Pro is roughly 1/2'' shorter. It's pretty easy to just drill another hole. A leather punch works even better. I've got pre-punched limiter straps if you're unsure of where to put another hole. A link to the website in my signature. Lots of variables go into adjusting suspension as I'm sure you know. Plain and simple a very stiff rear track shock compression, or even a lockout as seen in Fox Floats and soft front track shock will keep the front end down. Tony at TRS is the guy we suggest to tune your suspension to your liking. He's also found that the WE velocity's have a really inconsistent or non functioning clickers.
Thanks... I wanted to make sure that a half inch was the right number. I happen to have a leather punch tool sitting here for venting RC car tires, so that'll work nicely. And I'll start keeping an eye out for some more PRO front shocks. I keep my rear track shock stiffer (and the front softer) so it doesn't stand up as easily. I can make it stand up if I want to, but only if I want to. I just want to solve the lateral stability issues, and then it'll be a fun sled.
Have you sold them?
I have a set of 165 Pro rails and a limiter strap if you're looking.
Yes, they are gone
