VMax SX stock suspension question


The Vmax SX and SRX are the same short travel version of the pro-action. Vmax XTC, SxR, Venture and Viper are the long travel versions. Shocks/straps from any of them will give you the same 3". You can make your own drop brackets to make it set higher but doesn't give you any more travel.
 
If you drop the rear mount you also have to drop the middle mount for the front of the rear shock. The suspension drops in an arc to maintain the geometry. What every you choose to drop the rear, you drop the middle hole half the distance.
 
Sorry I don't have any pics. But it is fairly simple to do. Get the shocks for the rear skid from the list above. I used 02 viper shocks. Replace the 2 existing shocks with your new shocks. Then replace the limiter straps with the viper limiter straps. The one's on there are to short I also replaced the control rod spacer with ones for a viper. You will need to take the rear skid out to do it. I personally think just doing the rear skid only is best

this might help
