I have recently purchased a "donor" LT160 and stripped it of it's entire front-end components. I am looking to graft this to the front of an '87 LT80.

I see others on here who have done this. Can anyone send pics or post pics? I am looking to see how the stance looks. I specifically would like to see how the mounting tabs were altered to accommodate the LT160 A-arms and were any mods necessary to the shock mounts to achieve a proper "stance"?

TIA!!

craigslist_buffer AT yahoo DOT com if you want to send pics!!

 

NO ONE on here has done this swap? Even if you haven't done it yourself pics of the A-arms would be expecially helpful for me

Thanks!

 

I run LT160 shocks on my son's LT80 with stock arms + JLATV extenders (2" each side). The LT160 shocks are only 1/4" or so longer than the LT80 shocks so the "stance" is perfect. With the extra leverage of the JLATV extenders, the stock shocks lost most of what little travel they had to sag.

I know I didn't help you... but would like to see a pic if you figured it out!
