WTB LT80 suspension
#11
IMHO - the 300ex conversion kit is god awful...it's ridiculously wide and if you don't widen the rear it really looks "different"...LOL
You're better off doing what I did (adding an early {85-86} LT250R front end on)...you get reasonably wide a-arms, disk brakes, can bolt up Fox Floats, corners flat and steers super easy...my boy loves it...won't even look at a stocker anymore...

Yes...that will add stability, but now you'll need to find longer shocks that are sprung for that machine/rider and that will increase travel and increase the negative camber I mentioned above as the suspension moves through its stroke. Personally, I think the stud extensions are just fine if you only want "stability", but I'd caution against the negative handling impact when the suspension is compressed (very little tread on the ground / \)...my $0.02...
