I would like to lift the front of my 1999 srx 700, and ideas?
Bend knees, grab bumber, pull up. Use your legs, not your back.
Lol, and yes sometimes I amuse myself.

What I did, is get a one inch addition to your olin front shocks from Pioneer Performance, while you have the shocks off getting this done take off your top shock attachments turn up side down and swap sides, you might have to do alittle grinding to get a perfect fit but will give you another inch. So now you have more travel and sit abit higher, with no wt gain. I have also taken the stock cast iron spindles out of the trailing arms and put in beautiful aluminum viper ones, this is alittle more work as you have build and add spacers to the bottom and the top as they are quit abit longer, you gain around an inch &1/4 and save 2 pds of unsprung wt on each side over the stock set up. This will also lift the trailing arms as well. This set up makes the sled sit very level and allows more travel. you will have to redo your camper and toe out alingments. You may lose a small amount of the rail around coners but not enough that you still can't lead the competition.
Hope this helps, don't no if there is any thing else. I alos run with viper skiis that is a very little lift over stock.

I dont think factory viper spindles are aluminum. The steering arms are. Trailanimal must mean aftermarket spindles.

I have a complete 42 wide silver front end setup off of a vmax deluxe with long tube spindles and arms. this will make up for aftermarket skis and bring your width out to viper width with correct caster. I also sell brackets that allow you to put viper/sxr/xtc style shocks on your srx sled in a close to the correct position as mechanically possible so there is no steering interference.

on my srx I have drop brackets on the back, and brackets on the front that brought it a inch and a half higher, but it is still not high enough to equal with the back. what would you have that could still bring it higher?
