notice the cross shaft between the front and real arms. this is where mine bent and another friends was starting to bend.
The purpose of this thread, for me, was to simply show that the Assault rails are different, and to clarify what those differences are.
The Assault rails are turned up in the front simply to take into consideration the angle of the track/rail interface with the Rails dropped lower which causes a taller attack angle.. Using the RMK rails on the Assault will casuse more friction and Hyfax wear on at the front section.
The drive shaft and drivers are the same and in the positon as the RMK. The rear suspension is the same including the non adjustable limiter straps. The Assault suspension has the same travel as the RMK.
You could use the Assault rails on the RMK... but not vise versa UNLESS you moved the front suspension to the top holes that you drilled all the way through on the tunnel of the Assault
...
I have a rmk and the bowed out wherethat cross bar is and then they bent up from there back.
correct me if i'm wrong..i have a 012 Assault so by lowering the front mounting bolt it will help the sled get up on top of the snow better....If that is true what do i lose by moving it down?if anything..
I have read guys say it does make the sled ride more like a Pro,just the Assault is a bit wider and a touch heavier,plus i went with the 5.1 track rather than the comp.
Doesn't Ice Age make some rail stiffeners that go there? Would seem like a no-brainer instead of their new Bomber rails if you go big.
Have FUN!

That is interesting. There is an Assault next to my Pro RMK in the showroom right now. I am going to measure the groundclearance under the belly pan to see if there is a difference. If there is that would definately support that theory of the ski pivot point being lower like you said MH.
