Changing my 2016 SRViper Mtx to a trail sled. Wanting a 42" inch stance do I need to change uppers only or do i need to change everything i do have the old style spindles and A-Arms off a Cat but will need shocks as mine are 16 inch and will need 18.75 if I use these I've read that some say I just need to change the uppers and can keep the original shocks ? Doesn't make sense but thought I'd ask the question lots of talk on here but no real definite answer.

You will also need tie rods and a sway bar if you choose to put one on, the 42" lower arms will have mounts on them.Changing my 2016 SRViper Mtx to a trail sled.
