Hello, will Sx Viper shocks bolt right into a 02 Venture? I am pretty sure they are the same length. I'm installing a Team Fast skid and I think I should upgrade the front shocks. Any thoughts? Thanks, Frank
no they will not. the only venture that viper front shocks work on that i know of are the 04-05 sx viper based venture. otherwise the front end was based off of the sx series sleds.
I believe you will be able to bolt them in but you will have to change the bushing in the upper mount for them. I am looking at swapping out my VMAX SX front shocks for Viper shocks and that is all I have to do. A search should reveal one of my posts about 2 years ago where I asked this question with the resulting answers.
Cheers
They bolt right in. Same length and shock mounting. They used a steel version of the shock with a straight rate spring.
If you haven't bought anything yet, get any of the ttc front shocks. They come with a straight rate spring and are valves better.
Thanks for the information Betheviper. I am installing a M20 136" Air suspension in this sled. Do you think I should change the front shocks? Would I notice a difference if I did? What shocks to get at a decent price if so? This sled is like brand new mint with 1300 miles. I have a 4 stroke and just still love the yammie triples so much. Thanks again!
