I recently installed a 136 kit on my viper .. I got my measurements for the holes to drill my 136 skid out of an 04 rx warrior into my tunnel on my viper.. my middle shaft where the front of the rear shock mounts to is bout 2 inches ahead. meaning I had to compress the shock to get it on the front crosshaft arm. now rather thanthe arm be curled all the way back where the pivot point is,. it's bout 2-3 inches ahead i figure.. will this be poblem for riding or.. more less i want toknow when te suspension is bottomed out is the pivot arm and crosshaft extended all the way out or just halfway ? the shock is currently mounted on the top settingof the crosshaft rather tha the bottom as there is 3 settings . i just want to know if i can still ride te sled with the angle slightly changed . almost looks like my shockis slightly pre-compressed a bit. would extendingthe scissor side arms by say 2 " help?

Did your skid come from an 04 rx warrior? Need to use mounting location from sled skid came from........
Yes mine did come from an 04 Warrior . I got a template from Maxx Performance before they went out of buisiness . They helped me with most of the setup .

I took measurements off the warrior where i got my skid from .. marked up the measurements on my tunnel on the viper and drilled the holes , my problem right now is my crossshaft in middle .. so where the front of the shock moutnts to the crosshaft.. .. I had to take the front part of the shock off so i could lign up the shaft with the hole then bolt my cross shaft on the tunnel , my shock was sticking ahead i figure an inch or so past the mount that holds it in , thereforce I had to compress the shock with my buddy bout inch or so back to bolt it on .. I'll try get pictures soon but that's how i can explain it till i get the pics .. so rather than the crosshaft being curled back close to the shock lookin like a 50 degree angle towards the back of the suspension, it's almost a 80-90 degree angle straight up

or maybe if anyone has the measurements off an 04 rx warrior 136 they can give me more less from the front hole in the tunnel , distance to the center hole and height from the running board just so i know i'm right on or close
