My buddy did it on a sx 700 and it worked great!Much improved weight transfer and comfort also.
There are all sorts of threads on Edge skids installs on the viper. I have heard that the IQ (fusion) skids and Edge skids are identical other than the rear wheel size, but according to JBSHOCKS, the measurements are slightly different. I've been considering an edge/IQ skid extended to 136 the past 2yrs, but have yet to do it.
I'm unsure if additional spacers are required width wise or not.
Here are the measurements for the poo skids.

You will need some spacers as the Polaris skid is a bit narrower

I believe only IQ skids are narrower (.50 narrower). The standard Edge is almost a perfect fit once you had the typical mounting plates. When researching this a couple years ago, a typical 1/4" plate for the front mounting holes is all that's needed. The back doesn't require anything extra.

I have some pics in my work log. I just welded 2 1/4" spacers to the reinforcement plates on the tunnel. Worked great.
FYI I would have sold my sled by now had I not done this. Ride quality much improved.
