Default LT80 Shocks

I had read here that Polaris 90 shocks would fit on the front of a LT80......And also heard that the Polaris shocks were better than the stockers on the LT....So.....I purchased and installed a set on the front of my sons LT80. Right away I noticed that the Polaris shocks were longer maybe upwards of 1" longer than the LT shocks. But I installed them anyways....After I installed them I noticed that the stance of the front end changed quite a bit....Now the tops of the wheels are tipped out.....Not overly, but noticeably...Any thoughts on changes in handling or otherwise...Should I remove them? Thanks.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

I used the JL 3'' extenders and that caused the camber to be negative (lean in) After I out the longer shocks like you did the front tires straightened right up.
