viper shocks in mm700-Q??

[mountainx]

I just got done putting front viper shocks in my mm. They are from an 02 viper and thay dont have very many miles on them. I bought them from one of the nicest and honest people on this site!!!! If i didnt no better I would think he took them out of the plastic and sent them to me. Any way I had a set of short travle fox shocks in it. They had a lot of set in and bottomed all the time. When I pit the viper shocks in it dosent seam to be any better. The set in is about 2-3in.
Is this the way they are supost to be?
Is the mounting locations that different?
I am staying with the narow stance as I found a way to get around goin wider.


Thanks for your help. Justin

Did you adjust the pre-load on the springs after you installed them?

They are set at about %80.

How's the center shock in your rear suspension. I replaced mine and immediately the front end rose and inch or more....

The springs on the Viper are progressive and have a lot of " sit In " so I don't think you will gain much ride height .
