O.k I have been working on my viper for grass dragging 500'. So far it has Mr vipers kit in it, max white spring, green secondary spring ( you sent silver, but green worked better for me), 50/40 helix with 80 degrees, 8bu weights, 15.6 mm rollers.. I put in a shaved camoplast 9811 track with 192 chisel tooth studs. Also, I installed 9 tooth extrovert drivers, I had to grind the top of the w arm for clearance. I put 6 oversized skid wheels from a polaris on the skid. The limiters are pulled up tight, front spring turned up just a little, rear spring loose almost all the way, cut transfer rods... The track moves by itself when the sled is at idle with the track in the air... I am running 21-41 gearing with a 70 link chain.. Up front the shock are loosend and tied down, the ski have the carbides taken off... The vents are all taped off except for the top 2.... Is there anything I did not do that you guys can think of as far as the chassis goes.. I want to put some marginal snow wheels on the skid yet..
 

That would be a good idea.. I was testing and playing in the field yesterday and tore it off.
 
snow3, that was set up for a srx though, not a viper, its not going to work the same in a viper, youd be better off with some 8ca weights for a single pipe viper. If its piped with triple pipes I would still use a 8ca with rivets, you might be able to get the 8bu's to work empty???, I would think theres too much weight there as they were sent.
