'02 Viper skid vs. '03 RX-1 skid

[4strokelover87]

I'm looking for a stock '03 RX-1 skid and AIRWOLF has an '02 Viper skid for sale. I'm wondering what, if any, the differences are in these skids??? Is it a direct bolt-in??? Are the shocks or idlers any different???

Thanks!!!!

it should be a direct bolt in. the shocks on the viper might be aluminum and rebuildable instead of steel and disposable that the rx had.

yup just like grader said.

So, it's sounding like the Viper skid might be the way to go anyway!!!! Did Yami make any upgrades from '02 to '03 on the rear suspension....???? HAHAHA....LMAO!!!! Who am I kidding.....???? I just made a funny!!!! We all know that's not the case!!!! Thanks for the help guys!!!

springs are different rates - you may want to switch out your springs onto the viper shocks.

Do you know how much difference there is???

 

[woolyviper]

viper center 2.3 rx1 2.8-5.1 dual rate

viper rear 3.0-5.0 dual rate rx 3.5-5.3 dual rate

you would have to at least change the front spring

Alright, I suppose that would be easy enough!!! It would probably be worth it to have the rebuildable shocks too!!! Thanks for the info!!!!

I have an 03 skid with less than 1000 miles on it probably costs more to ship than finding one at a swap meet this summer or fall.

Thanks for the help guys!!! I actually got an '03 skid from '192 Woodys' that is in excellent shape, so I will be putting it under the RX-1!!!!
