Yamaha Rhino +3" MTS Suspension Kit
Description
The Lone Star Racing MTS Suspension Kit is a purpose-built suspension upgrade for the Yamaha Rhino, adding 3 inches of width per side and extending the wheelbase 1 inch forward and 1 inch rearward for a dramatically more stable and confident stance. Constructed from 4130 chromoly steel, these arms deliver serious strength without unnecessary weight, making this kit a go-to choice for Rhino owners who push their machines hard on trails, dunes, or open terrain. Quick caster adjustments on the front arms allow you to fine-tune your geometry to match your riding style and conditions.
This kit is compatible with both 2005-07 and 2008-and-up Yamaha Rhino models, and can be optionally paired with LSR axle shafts for a complete drivetrain upgrade. It is designed to work with stock length shocks - though aftermarket shocks are recommended for maximum performance. Whether you are a weekend trail rider or a serious off-road enthusiast, this suspension kit transforms the Rhino's handling and ground-clearance capabilities.
Key Features
- +3" Width Per Side: Widens the track by 3 inches on each side for dramatically improved stability and cornering confidence.
- Wheelbase Extension: Extends the wheelbase 1" forward and 1" rearward for a longer, more planted footprint.
- 4130 Chromoly Steel Construction: Arms are built from high-strength 4130 chromoly for superior durability under demanding off-road conditions.
- Quick Caster Adjustment: Front arms feature quick caster adjustments so you can dial in your front-end geometry without special tools.
- Delrin Bushings Included: Ships with delrin bushings and inner pivot tubes for smooth, long-lasting suspension movement.
- Uses Stock Ball Joints: Designed to work with your existing OEM ball joints (not included), keeping costs down and fitment straightforward.
- OEM Rear Sway Bar Compatible: Retains the factory rear sway bar - no need to source additional hardware.
- Stock Shock Compatible: Works with stock length shocks straight out of the box, with the option to upgrade to aftermarket shocks for enhanced performance.
- Optional LSR Axle Shafts: Available with upgraded Lone Star Racing axle shafts to complete the wider drivetrain setup.
- Multi-Year Fitment: Available in year-specific configurations for 2005-07 and 2008-and-up Yamaha Rhino models.
Year & Axle Options - Which to Choose
- 2005-07 / No Axles: The base kit for earlier-generation Yamaha Rhinos. Ideal if your factory axles are in good condition and you want the suspension geometry upgrade alone.
- 2005-07 / Add LSR Axle Shafts: Pairs the suspension kit with Lone Star Racing axle shafts sized specifically for 2005-07 models. The best choice if you want a complete, matched drivetrain upgrade for your early Rhino.
- 2008-UP / No Axles: Year-specific fitment for 2008 and newer Yamaha Rhinos. A great option if your current axles are in good shape and you are focused on the suspension and stance upgrade.
- 2008-UP / Add LSR Axle Shafts: The full-package option for 2008-and-up Rhinos, combining the wider suspension kit with LSR axle shafts engineered to match the new geometry. Recommended for riders planning to run aftermarket shocks and push their Rhino hard.
What's Included
- Front and rear MTS A-arms (4130 chromoly)
- Delrin bushings

- LSR axle shafts (if the axle option is selected)
Why You'll Love It
Lone Star Racing has built a rock-solid reputation in the UTV and ATV suspension world, and this MTS kit is a prime example of why. The combination of 4130 chromoly arms, quick caster adjustability, and a wider track gives your Yamaha Rhino a transformed, more capable character - whether you are navigating tight wooded trails or blasting across open country. The kit is designed to integrate with your existing factory components wherever possible, making installation more straightforward and cost-effective. Fender trimming may be required, which is a small trade-off for the massive improvement in stability and cornering you will gain. With the option to add purpose-built LSR axle shafts, you can build a complete, cohesive suspension and drivetrain package you can trust for years of hard riding.
Do I need new shocks with this kit?
This kit is designed to use stock length shocks, so it will work with your existing shocks out of the box. However, Lone Star Racing recommends upgrading to aftermarket shocks to get the best possible performance from the wider suspension geometry. If you plan to ride hard or in demanding terrain, aftermarket shocks are a worthwhile investment alongside this kit.
Are ball joints included with the kit?
No - this kit uses your stock OEM ball joints, which are not included. This helps keep costs down and simplifies installation, as you can reuse the ball joints from your existing suspension in most cases.
Will I need to trim my fenders?
Possibly. Because this kit widens the Rhino's track by 3 inches per side, some fender trimming may be required depending on your specific setup and tire size. This is a common part of the installation process and should be accounted for when planning your build.
How do I know if I need the 2005-07 or 2008-UP version?
The kit is offered in two year-specific fitments - 2005-07 and 2008-and-up - to account for differences in the Yamaha Rhino's geometry between model years. Check your Rhino's model year on the frame or title and select accordingly. If you are unsure, contact us before ordering.
What is the lead time if the kit is not in stock?
Lead times can vary and may be 10 weeks or more for items not currently in stock. If your project has a deadline, we strongly recommend contacting us before ordering to confirm availability and estimated shipping time.
Can I add the LSR axle shafts later if I don't order them now?
Yes - the Lone Star Racing Yamaha Rhino Axle Shafts are available separately. However, ordering them together with the suspension kit ensures you get the correct shafts sized for the MTS geometry from the start, which saves time and simplifies your build.
