Shock Therapy Spring Kit for Yamaha Viking

Shock Therapy Spring Kit for Yamaha Viking

One of the most common problems on the Yamaha Viking is a rear suspension that keeps sagging. The more you haul and the more miles you put on it, the lower the rear sits as the factory springs slowly give out, and the factory rear shocks have no way to adjust ride height. Shock Therapy's Viking Spring Kit fixes both: it replaces the worn factory springs with Shock Therapy springs, CNC-machined spring adapters and preload adjusters, so you get your payload capacity back and can set the ride height where you want it (for example 10 or 12 inches of ground clearance).

WHICH KIT DO I NEED

• Level 1 Rear Kit: rear springs, rear spring adapters, rear preload adjusters and two spanner wrenches for ride-height adjustments.
• Level 2 Front & Rear Kit: everything in Level 1 plus front springs, front spring adapters and front preload adjusters, so you can raise the front as well.

WHICH SPRING RATE

• Rear standard spring: for stock weight up to 250 lbs of payload. Best if you usually run the Viking empty or lightly loaded. You can carry more at any time, but you may need to raise the ride height to keep it level.
• Rear heavy spring: for a steady 250 lbs up to 750 lbs. Best if you always carry a load and sometimes add another 250 to 500 lbs. These springs ride stiff with an empty bed.
• Front standard spring: best for a stock Viking that just needs ride height put back; the best-riding front spring.
• Front heavy spring: best if you run a front plow or a full cab that adds a lot of weight up front.

FEATURES

• Springs that do not settle: Shock Therapy guarantees these springs not to settle or fade for the life of the springs.
• Adjustable ride height: the preload adjusters let you raise or lower the machine front and rear (Level 2) as your load changes.

DETAILS - PLEASE READ

• Warning from Shock Therapy: the factory springs are extremely hard to remove, even with a spring compressor, because there is not enough space between the coils for a standard compressor. Consider having a shop do the spring swap, using a special compressor (Shock Therapy names one made by Motion Pro) or sending your shocks to Shock Therapy for the swap.
• Choose the kit level and spring rates in the options.
• See the Vehicle Fitment section for fitment.
