I should go ahead with making a single a-arm tho. I was making them to raise the machine 1" along with +3" & 4" wide (each side).</end quote></div>

go ahead I dare ya!!!!!

 

I double Dawg dare ya! what shocks hehehehehe, BTW mak that rear plate for a long travel shock also!

 

how bout a frame with duel a-arm and a swingarm. sounds like lt80 has a winter project. Im aready looking at a frame that I can put (with some work) the lt80 motor into maybe a blaster frame

 

Yeah go for it Jack.
Sounds like it could be a real nice machine if you do your thing on the motor,
and from reading what onebigzj said in another thread that's some crazy thing
you do. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

With some luck I'll have my own crazy LT up and running as soon as I get it all painted and back together, just hope I can hold on to the thing after jacks finished with it, lol. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

 

Rich,

lt160 shocks work great on front. I have the jl front end extenders and my tires do not have negative camber. I used these shocks on a stock LT80 as well and they look stock. They have much more travel and are very forgiving on the trails. I have another lt80 with an LT160 front end, Jack's motor, swing arm extension, and diamond J ciustom wheel adapters so I can use Honda 300ex rims. I notched the frame under the footpegs and added about 3 inches to the fram under the seat. I used an LT160 front shock with a welded on extension for the rear shock. It looks like a bigger quad and my wife rides it. She loves it and she doesn't get beat up on the trails. I have had this setup for about 3 years and never had a problem. Of course she doesn't beat on it and jump it. It runs great and is really a fun quad. People ask what it is parked next to our stock LT80 because it looks so much bigger.

 

I had bought a Diamond J kit but never installed it. I sold the kit once pictures of them were posted on the websiteI thought the front width looked absolutely ridiculous as well.

 

I must be a meathead!!!! I loved the width just hated and couldnt handle the ride
