I need someone with a stock viper to do me a favor and take a measurement for me. I need to know the distance from the bottom of the rail/slide to the center of the bolt at the rearmost mounting point of the skid. See pic. I need to find the stock viper ride height to base off of for mounting my new skid. I'd do it myself, but I don't have a rear skid at the moment. So if anyone can measure for me, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Approx. 11 1/2 to the bottom of the hyfax.
the prox isn't the same. Maxdlx
rz500 - Thank you very much.
maxdlx - I know it's not the same, I'm just trying to figure out how high the back end sits on the viper so that I can make sure I get the right height with the IQ skid.

Sorry for the confusion in my abbreviation. My skid is a stock pro action set-up for a 160lb rider. The measurement I end up with is "approximately" 11 1/2".

Just wondering how lowering your skid 2.5" affected the handling, and where did you get the brackets from?
Thanks
