I had this for 2 seasons now without issue. Definitely softens suspension for a pusher ride. I weigh 165 and this was a good investment imo.

Might have to be something I look into. The only thing I am worried about is when I take the wife out which isn't too often it maybe way to soft. How does it handle in the really rough trails?

Bear in mind, I put black factory pucks on soft plus the BOP gadget to make things super plush. Rough trails I turn one of the factory black pucks to medium and leave the other on soft. When I ride the wifey I put both black factory pucks on medium. Then when i go out alone again both black factory pucks to soft. The BOP gadget stays in there all the time. Hope this helps.

Sounds good, thanks for the info, I am going to have to give it a try. Would like to have a little bit of sag, seems to soak up the trail junk a bit better. Thanks again.

I just installed this kit on my sons 16 viper RTX-SE, he's 150 dressed. After install there was a noticeable sag or sit in before he even sat on it. To start out we have the blocks set on 3 and we'll go from there. This suspension has the QS3's, so I can tune as needed. Upgraded the center shock to a hygear H1 custom QS3 as well. Its going to take some tuning but we'll get there with all these upgrades.

Does the sled now squat when you take off, triangulate better when you punch it?
I had already removed the coupler blocks for maximum transfer. Didn't really notice if the BOP gadget contributed to more.

Anymore feedback as it relates to transfer with this product? Specifically for the 137s.

Did they change/improve the torsion springs on later models? Jaret seems to recommend an aftermarket torsion blocks to get a 4th setting for saddlebaging etc... and he doesn't look big.
What do you guys do? Less or more?
