put in a long travel proaction skid in my sled today and a 1.25'' predator track today. went like a breeze never had any problems to speek of. sits higher stiffer shocks i like it a lot better now even got around to polishing the pipes on her. ;)!
 

rode it today and man is it a world of difference the new track hooks up great more ski lift can maneuver it around a lot easier now also
 
so you just lowered your shocks?

jags, if you want raise your sled by this method, dont buy the brackets, you can just flip your brackets upside down and left for right. you will need to grind a little off them to clear your shock and shim the lower bolt with a washer.

if you want to add true long travel to your sled, check out the link below my post,
 
i put a rx1 skid in my sled and the brackets for the front just take old ones out and put the new ones in bolt shock right to it
 
Right, but what BETHEVIPER is saying is that the front of your sled isn't really longtraveled, just lifted to match the rear. Long traveling it includes adding a different shock that has more travel than the stock SRX shocks (like a viper shock).

BETHEVIPER's brackets allow you to properly mount viper shocks on your SRX and actually gain travel.
 
thanks guys,

brackets are on the way, sent them out in the drop box, but, they weigh more than a lb so they came back. fyi, you cant ship priority mail envelope over 1lb unless they give it to them in person. what the hell does that have to do with terrorism?

sorry for the delay

i get a kick out of the add the guy has on ebay, listed as long travel kit

i got what your saying now does that help out quite a bit or not
 
when you installed the rx1 skid, did you swap the rear sissor shaft for your srx one or did you shim it with spacers?

more travel in the front means the travel you have is softer and way easier on the arms when your trying to keep up to your buddies through the junk.
