Hey guys,

I have had it trying to ride my 02 viper on the stiff original shock so I yanked them today and shipping out for a revalve this week. I had good intentions of not letting the front drop to the ground but I did end up having to set it down with no front shocks at all before I could get the jack under it to keep it in the air (should have had a buddy help me :o| ) Think I bent anything or is the suspension ok with setting it all the way down? the back end is also up supported just a little bit that shoudl be OK I would think.

Nothing looks bent so I'll remain optimistic. Anyway I REALLY looking foward to this revalve!!! Thanks!
 

Ok good, I didn't bounce it or drop, took the ole back to slow it down nice and easy, not sure if that was the smartest or not <reaches for advil...>

Thanks
 
No problem. Mine sat on the floor of a garage for two weeks while both front and rear shocks had been sent out for service. Looked kind of funny, lowrider or drag sled.

why get them revalved the stifer the shock teh beter in my book. but i also ride goat trails that are always whooped and go as fast as i can. maybe tahst why i go threw trailing arms like theyre goin out of style and my sled is in teh garage fixing somthing every few weeks. but my theroy is if u dont break somthing ur not riding it hard enough
 
The shocks work great with your ridn' hard for a couple of hours, but then if we do any 100+ miles days I need something more comfortable, this thing will just skip over them and beat you to death, hard rider or not its stupid to go 50mph over 6-10" stutter bumps. I would like to ride over them comfortly. The aggressive design of the sled will satisfy my performance and handling needs, just add a touch of comfort and I'm set.
