So awesome to see these sleds again! Makes me happy to see that all of you guys are still enjoying them and they are still very much alive and well. I wonder what ever happened to my Viper? Any of you guys ever see it? I sold it back in 16’ to a guy from the Calgary area and it’s never been seen again? Be cool to see it again...

Randy!! I think we have been talking about putting a 36” kit on your viper since the kit came out in 2016 lol I don’t think you can get the kit from cat anymore but there should be some dealers that might have a few of the kits left? Part numbers were 7639-161 for the Black & Black and 7639-164 for the Black & White...ideally budget wise that’s your best option and just run the shock spacer or your right barcode kit doesn’t require a spindle change so they would be your next best bet price wise...if it was me and price wasn’t a concern I would do the elevate spindles and either the zbroz arms or trenchers or other comparable aftermarket arms with high clearance. Stock cat/yammy a arms would work as well and then change the shocks to a coil over or just buy a set of takeoff shocks from a 16-current sled yammy or cat with a 36” front end lots of takeoff front shocks laying around. Switching that viper over from the 38” to the 36” makes it a totally different sled

Cheers

Randy I just realized you have zbroz coils on your sled with your 38” arms you should just be able to send those back to zbroz and get them modified for a 36” front end might save you a few bucks

If you search around You might find the cat a arms kits. I found one at central sled last season . Makes a huge difference and the raptor front coil overs work great . One of the boys put the elevate kit on his sidewinder this season with 174 and the thing lays over so much easier

You are correct E-Z, I have been researching a new front end for a while. Lots of new tech out there now, and just want to see what has been working for folks. I guess anything is better then the 2014, ‘15 geometry. I do like the idea of the elevate set up. Just searching to see if anyone is running it. I like the style of the BDX kit.

I did not pick up one of those kits that you informed me about a couple of years back E-Z. They have not made them for a while now and no one stocks them. Most all the new mountain cats have the new 36” front end and you have to now purchase the parts individually.
Thanks again though.
