hey guys just wanted to clarify something. I got some mint viper shocks that I'm putting in my srx skid and I'm gonna get them revalved. The ? I have is can I use my adjustable transfer rods with the viper shocks, I just have to mount them in a different hole? can anyone chime in on this?

sorry forgot to mention I already have viper limiter straps as well. The viper rear shocks I have only have about 1,500 miles on them so would you guys recommend I rebuild them along with revalving? So what do I look for with revalving. I just ask to have them set up to my weight with riding gear on?
do all the mods listed below to your skid
When they do a revalve, they will be changing the oil, there is no reason at that mileage to replace anything.
Depends on the kind of rods.
for it to work properly, you should have the long upper rods. If you have the bender tc3 rods that go on the bottom, your fine, you can just replace the upper two rods. I have those if you don't. If you have any other brand that the adjuster is on the top side of the rod it wont work correctly. you will need the upper rods either way. I have viper style rods which are adjustable, with a wrench too.
depending on the year of shock you have, they may want to sell you the front track shock sping as an upgrade. It helps with hookup. If the spring on your shock is straight rate already, it isn't worth the money for the upgrade.

BTV thanks for the reply. I looked at my transfer rods and they mount up at an angle and the adjuster is up top. So now I just have to get the viper rods, and were u talking about putting in a srx shock in the front of my skid because they are stiffer? And how do I tell if my rear viper shocks are straight rate?
