Does anyone know if the stock SRX tie rods have anough adjustment to handle the swap to the Viper front shocks and radius rods. Many thanks.
SRX long travel front swap
- Thread starter *xke*
- Start date
viper front shocks wont bolt in without cutting the belly pan, making or buying brackets to relocate them.
i sell the brackets for 80$
viper radius rods dont work. if you want wider stock rods you need sxr rods or i sell rod extension kits for 110 to make the sled 42wide and 120 to make the sled 44 in wide.
if you go with 44 wide, the springs need alot of preload.
if you install viper shocks with brackets with stock rods the sled will be very tall, for mountain riding or snowcross style riding, this works great. it requires alot of input in corners but is easier to correct with leaning than a wider sled.
the width of a sled should be in direct relation to the lazyness of the driver.
my sled is wide, with a big sway bar

I'm running the above brackets with viper shocks on my srx. It gets the front end up and has worked great for me. Put three hundred miles on it this last weekend and I like the way it drives.

Got a kit to make mine 48 wide?
you can add 2 and 4 till the back of the arms break off if you want to. i have one guy that is going to go with a 4in on a viper, 46in wide. dont meet him on the trail.

I'm happy... and lazy too.
Like Pontiac used to say - wider is better.
no pictures, they are just as stated. They are machined steel rods that thread into your rods and onto your rod ends. They go on the inside of the rods so they are not sean, the spacer for the sway bar goes on the lower end so it is not seen.
for a 4in kit, you use a spacer on both top and bottom of link so it is seen on the top.
