Viper Suspension upgrades

[emyers202]

i have been getting beat up ridding my stock 03 Viper in Old Forge the last couple of weekends. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on suspension adjustments or upgrades. most of my riding is on the trails.

Here is a link for ya to look at. Follow it word by word and you wont be dissapointed. But if you are try a search on swapping to an M10 or mono skid, or take a look at the tech pages.

I did a writeup on the mono swap, and can make templates. been doing it a while now, lots of people with smooth riding vipers on the trails now

Thats what I plan on doing to my viper this summer or early fall. All I need to do is find a mono skid first.

they are getting easier to find with more and more apex sleds out there

Pioneer performance Revalve.

If you haven't already, get all four of your shocks revalved by Pioneer Performance. Cheap, and well worth it. It will make the sled ride great!

Thanks for the good info! What model sleds came w/ the Mono skids? How much $ do they usally sell for?

 

[03viperguy]

any year apex, other than the apex rtx, some of them (07 and up?) had the proactive skids not sure on price, been a while since I bought mine

I was going to have all my shocks rebuilt/ revalved but I want that better ride in the rear. I will do the front shocks but want to put a mono in the back.
