Hi!

I have a LT-F160, and I would like to know if anyone has altered their's, especially about raising the suspension (more travel), making it wider, and putting taller tires on the front.

To make the front wider, I've been thinking of turning the wheels around.

About the front tires, perhaps going to 22"s on the same wheels.

How about raising the front and rear suspension - can it be done easily, are there any kits for it?
It wouldn't be for more height, put especially for more suspension travel.

Thanks!

Pedro Pinheiro

I used to have a 96 LT160 I noticed the biggest handling problem I had was tire roll. I would put a set of flat profile tires (shredder, turf tamers, etc) on the rear and leave the stock tires up front. The turning radius will suffer if you get larger front tires. Works performance makes front shock for the LT160 ( I think anyhow ) That should make a pretty big difference. There's not alot of mods available for this handly little machine but replacing those tires would be very high on the list. Also in case you didnt know K&N now lists a filter and Dynojet has a jet kit available for the LT160.
