Anyone ever widen the front end? Id like to make it more stable for my daughter. Ive seen the kit from JL but its 150.00 plus shipping and was wondering if there was another route to go ?

 

Come on guys no LT80s out there?

 

I bought the same JL kit off of ebay for $90.00 for my daughters LT80. It was used but like new & works great.

 

Try to find a used JLAtv a-arm extender kit. If not buy it new. It's not as cheap as spacers but it works so much better. If you are handy welding you could adapt Lt160 arms to the front by cutting and moving one mount forward or back. Then you would have to have the front hub mounts welded onto the lt160 arms. Its alot of labor but can be done. Frankly, i like the JL kit. It is complete and is a simple bolt-on.

 

do what i did on my sons flip the front wheels around it will give you about 2' on each side wider! But you have to have the valve stem inserted upside down and then drill a new hole on the other side for the second valve stem, this is so the old one does not hit the brakes .any local shop will do all that for you for about $20.00 or 30.00 bucks much cheaper way to go for stability!!!

 

man the 150 is not much for your daughters safety, i would buy new in a heart beat not worth going the cheap way out, but turning the wheels works also, im sure she dosnt ride hard enough to bend rims, they can bend eaiser that way
