If the skid is made for more nimble handling as advertised. Why not add Assault Spindles ..

They have more negative caster

Not the Indy Assault those are trail height.

They were only offered in 16-18 in many colors .

The lower hole in the tunnel doesn't seem to be the mounting location on the Khaos but a longer arm and rail mount location. So what about moving it down there ?? Will it do wheelies like a Thundercat???

I believe the React spindles have a different bolt spacing. I will need to get my caliper out, but comparing an ‘18 side by side looks to be different.

I am about to cut a set of top A-arms from a ProRide and build some with adjustable caster for my 2019. Is it true that the Assaults do have different Camber? I have some Assault offsets here that I will have to measure.

There is a old ZRP post ( narrowed Assault spindles ) with them side by side and it is very clear that there is less caster . Camber is the same .

Caster and Camber can always be remembered with OUT and BACK are Positive!!

I am looking to trade a Alt Impact 37" for anyone's stock 16-18 Assault RMK Front .. Complete both ways shocks and all included Sway Bar to the Assault too ..

The PRO ones have a different top mount boss for more height with that adjustable heim. And Maybe not in your case but the ones I used had 3/8 hardware and Assault Spindles had 10 mm

Here is the Assault(red) vs the 19(grey)(same geometry as 16-18).
A-Arm spacing is identical.

It is actually caster that I am out to change and not camber as I mentioned incorrectly. I want my spindles to sit more straight up and down.

I attached the picture .. the red in the rear is the Assault RMK one ..
Why do we not want the trail numbers associated with them ?? It would be the Mostest Flickable !!

Aligning through the a-arm bolt axis is the correct way to look at it.
For the most part, the steering arm is what is different on the Assault.
