On our 128" SXR I was thinking of lifting the front suspension. I believe if I run the Viper trailing arm and spindles the actuall bumper hight should raise 1" without even changeing any shock tension. I already have spindles and steering levers. Just waiting on the trailing arms. I also have a pair of Apex saddless skies to add. These seem to float better than the stock SXR. Any thoughts??? or reason's why this won't work?? Thanks Al

If you currently have the stock sxr skis on it then the viper trailing arms with the apex skis will not raise the front at all, it will keep it at the same height. If you use the sxr skis then it will raise it up 1".
bingo
You might want to try a set of straight rate springs from a venture on the stock shocks. you will end up with a taller ride height, and of coarse, crapier(is that a word) handling
Unless your jumping houses or just want a "look" higher isn't better for handling. If it is to do better off trail, stock skis are a killer, get a set of some kind of wider, longer ski, a good skid plate also is a help if it covers much of your arms.

My idea is to get better off groomed trail manners. The Stock SXR skies are great on hardpack but we rarely ride on groomed trails. I don't want the crap ride of the Venture, either. If I put the Apex skies on and add the Viper trailing arms/spindles at least I have the same height as stock correct?? Looking at the Apex skies and the OEM SXR I swear the Apex saddelless are taller?? I know the Apex skies float better in deep ungroomed. AlBETHEVIPER said:
