Another track extension thread!

[powerband]

I’m considering stretching the track on my ‘15 assault from a 155 to a 163. I’ve already decided that if I do it will be a rail extension kit so I’m not interested in hearing about new rails. By my math that’s 8” of overall track length so my question is how much difference is there in actual footprint between the two and do I need an 8” extension?

174. Why stop in Olds if you’re headed to Cowtown?

Your extension will be 4inches, it will be very noticeable.
Anything longer then what your thinking would require a rail replacement to do it properly. You will need to consider tunnel extension and cooling for a proper stretch.

That’s +4 on the ground?

Buy these and sell you 155 rails, they will bolt right up to you factory suspension components. Will look better and be stronger.
