Viper shocks factory settings

[Ultimax]

Does anyone know what the factory spring settings are for the 2003 Mt. Viper. I want to set them back to the factory settings and I don't have the specifications. Also is the distance measured by the threads showing, or is it measured from one of the end of the shock to edge of the spring? Thanks.

spring seat lengths are measured from the center of the mounting bolt (thread side) to the edge of the spring. So the longer the length the more preload.
For your '03 mtn. viper they are as follows:
Front ski shocks - 115.5mm (4.55")
center shock (front of skid) - 86.8mm (3.42")
rear shock (skid) - 70.3mm (2.7")
spring adjust position on the center shock is set to #3 from factory and the rear shock is on #4
