I've done a lot of research on this topic and found a lot of good information but i still have a few questions. First off, i'm planning on gutting the stock no-action skid out of a viper and putting a skidoo sc3 or 4 skid in with 144 tip ups with the hartman tunnel extension. That should raise the rear end significantly along with the boss seat should help the rear. Now the front end is my question. There was a guy on here that had fox float 2's put on his viper...actually carver performance did the work. I'm wondering if just the fox floats alone with raise the front end an inch or 2 ? If thats the case, what exact fox air shocks should be used ? What is the center to center ? Also, is there anything else that can be done to the front end to raise it up so the nose isnt plowing snow in powder ? Anything off the mountain viper that can be purchased and swapped on the flatland viper to help the front end out ?
 
I got a quote from carver about the first of the year. It was around 8 to 9 hundred to do it. I have the quote at work if you want more info. As far as raising the front, if you run SRX skis you can gain a little but you are running a "not so good" ski.
 
What exactly were they going to do ? I wluld.prefer to do the work myself. Isnt it just a shock swap? They add a clicker or reservoir to the fox shock and install ot.right ? What exact fox shock are they using ? I would think thats not worth 8 to 900 for a shock swap
 
yea i understand about stock shocks with stiffer springs but you sacrafice the ride because it will ride extremely stiff on the front end. I would like to put some floats on the viper but i want something cleaner looking then some garage welded brackets. I want it to look factory

WTH!!! Really! you wont get much help or response when you talk like that around here. I was upset over the way you responded to snoprokid the first time about his "garage welds". I think his brackets and sled look awesome. If you don't have better things to say I don't think you need to say anything at all around here, all of 8 posts. If your such a good welder then you can take his pics and make them look OEM without his help, or mine for sure. WOW im a little on edge lately but man some people.
