Will '13 Assault front end bolt up to Pro front end?

snowracer21 · Oct 15, 2013

As title says;

my a arm came unglued, taking out the shock.. insead of going OEM and worrying about the glue coming apart agian, I found a set of used A Arms and W/E Shocks (w/ resevior) on the for sale forums...

I understand it's a wider stance... will the A Arms and shocks bolt up to my Pro?

Will I notice much of a difference with the wider stance?

Yes it should all bolt up. And yes you will notice a difference with the wider stance. How significant is the difference? Well thats relative, I have a '12 Assault and can do the same things the Pro can do, it just takes a bit more effort in SOME situations.

The bulkheads are the same so the a-arms will bolt to it. There is a wider stance and a difference in how the sled handles. It will be more to side hill with it. The geometry between the back of the track and the skis is a greater angle on the assault. But, the Pro Assault does a much better job sidehilling than the IQ Assault ever did.

You will also need longer tie rods from the assault.

I think the guys above pretty much answered it for ya. Will it handle different.......yes a little but honestly nothing major.

Having ridden both, they each have their own areas where they shine over one another, but again nothing leaps and bounds from one to another.

If you get a heck of a deal on that setup I get it. Well, maybe not. Seriously, how many people on here do you hear talk about going wider on their mtn sleds? Even some of the Pro guys are going more narrow with the Zbroz narrow kit. I wouldn't do it.

You can ditch the sway bar to.

I'm getting a great deal on the setup..
also, do I have to get different spindles?

While I do enjoy side hilling and tree riding, I'm more of an aggresive rider (jumping)

Spindles are the same, no need to change.
