Sr viper rear 4th wheel install

[Curtis Chambers]

Hey guys new to the site just signed up and wondered if anyone could help me. Just bought new 2015 r-tx-le viper and bought 4 th rear wheel kit and no instructions came with it. Called dealer they have not done one yet and googled it no videos or any info on it . Not to difficult just don't want to screw it up. By the way lots of info on the site great job everyone.

Is the kit just 2 wheels and stubs to add on or is it a full axle set? This can make a big difference. The kit that I used required removal of the skid, but it's an extra duty setup.

The kit is just 2 wheels and stubs

I would think you just pull the OE end bolts and bolt in place then.

I assume you have the factory kit. That's all there is to it, you should have 2 longer bolts to go thru the stubs. No need to even loosen the track. Did mine last year, no issues.

Yes i have factory kit the bolts go through into existing shaft or just bolt to frame by itself?

They just replace the bolts that are into the rear axle shaft. I believe they came with some thick washers also for the outside of the wheels, to hold them on.

Welcome to the forums!

If you make 3 small pieces of wood to space off the inside wheels, it is a breeze to install the outside wheels.

3 pieces of 1/2" plywood 1/2" x 1" x 6"

With the track up off the ground.

Put a piece across the inside wheels between the cogs and roll the track back, then add another and roll back and then add the last one. You will create a 1/2" gap between the track and the wheels.

Sounds good thank you guys
