SRX To Viper Long Travel Limit Strap Length

[krazykev]

I am making the switch on my 99 SRX 700 to the Viper long travel rear suspension and I am wondering 2 things: The limiter straps came off of a long track and so I think I'll have to punch a couple new holes to get the right length, does anyone know what the length between the holes (or length bolted together) should be? Second, how should I have them set, tightness? Any info would be greatly appreciated .

After doing some reading it sounds like I can use my '98 SRX limiter straps, Change the rear weight transfer rods over to the Viper, longer one's and just change out the shocks. Anyone?

When I converted my 98, I purchased Viper limiter straps and bushings for the transfer rods.

Just Viper bushings and not the whole transfer rods?

98-99 srx rods are longer than the 00-02's. you only had to change the rods if long trav. the 00-02's. just change your rod spacers .

I am going to the long travel in the rear. I have the longer Viper rods which I plan on installing but should I use different spacers than are on my SRX now? If so how thick should they be? I should say that I made these rods and they are adjustable.

I got the front-end done tonight and can't wait to do the rear. We are in the middle of a snow storm right now in MN! Here is a couple pics of my front bracket.
