Yamaha Rhino +6.5" XTR Suspension Kit


Description

The Lone Star Racing XTR Suspension Kit is the ultimate wide-travel upgrade for the Yamaha Rhino, adding 6.5" of width per side and stretching the wheelbase 2" forward and 2" rearward for a dramatically more planted, stable stance. Built from 4130 chromoly steel, the arms are engineered to take serious punishment on the trail or the race course without flexing or fatiguing. Quick caster adjustment is built right into the front arms, giving you fine-tuned handling control without extra hardware or headaches.

Designed specifically for long-travel shock setups, this kit unlocks 14.25" of front wheel travel and an impressive 15.5" in the rear - numbers that transform the way your Rhino handles rough terrain. Whether you're an aggressive trail rider chasing faster lines or a competitive racer demanding every inch of suspension capability, the XTR kit delivers a purpose-built platform that the stock suspension simply can't match.


Key Features

  • +6.5" Width Per Side: Dramatically widens your track for improved stability, cornering confidence, and a more aggressive stance.
  • +2" Wheelbase Extension (Front & Rear): Extends the wheelbase 2" forward and 2" rearward for better high-speed stability and improved geometry.
  • 4130 Chromoly Steel Construction: Premium chromoly arms deliver superior strength and durability while resisting bending and fatigue under hard use.
  • Quick Caster Adjustment: Front arms feature built-in quick caster adjustments so you can dial in handling without removing the arms.
  • 14.25" Front Wheel Travel: Long-travel-ready front geometry unlocks 14.25" of suspension travel for smoother, more controlled front-end performance.
  • 15.5" Rear Wheel Travel: Rear suspension geometry achieves 15.5" of wheel travel - a massive improvement over stock for absorbing hard hits.
  • Delrin Bushings & Inner Pivot Tubes Included: Ships with delrin bushings and inner pivot tubes for a complete, long-lasting pivot assembly.
  • OEM Rear Sway Bar Compatible: Retains your factory rear sway bar so you don't need to source additional components.
  • Stock Lower Ball Joints: Uses your existing OEM stock ball joints on the lower arms - keeping costs manageable (ball joints not included).
  • LSR Axle Shaft Option Available: Upgrade to Lone Star Racing heavy-duty axle shafts at time of purchase for a complete, ready-to-run package.

Year & Axle Options - Which to Choose

  • 2005-07 (No Axles): Base kit sized for the 2005-2007 Yamaha Rhino chassis. Ideal if you already have compatible XTR-length axles on hand or plan to source them separately.
  • 2005-07 (Add LSR Axle Shafts): The 2005-2007 kit bundled with Lone Star Racing's upgraded axle shafts - rear shafts feature 300M material for added strength. The best all-in-one choice for 05-07 Rhino owners doing a full suspension build.
  • 2008-UP (No Axles): Base kit sized for 2008 and newer Yamaha Rhino models. Choose this if you're supplying your own axles or upgrading incrementally.
  • 2008-UP (Add LSR Axle Shafts): The 2008-and-up kit with Lone Star Racing axle shafts included - the most complete package for newer Rhino builds and the recommended option for riders who want everything matched and ready to install.

What's Included

  • XTR front and rear A-arm suspension kit (+6.5" per side)
  • Delrin bushings
  • Inner pivot tubes
  • LSR axle shafts (if selected as an option)

Why You'll Love It

Lone Star Racing has been a trusted name in ATV and UTV performance for decades, and the XTR Suspension Kit represents the top of their lineup for the Yamaha Rhino. The 4130 chromoly construction means these arms are built to outlast cheap aftermarket alternatives, holding up to the repeated stress of aggressive riding season after season. The combination of increased width, extended wheelbase, and long-travel shock compatibility transforms the Rhino from a capable stock machine into a genuinely competition-ready platform.

Whether you're building a dedicated race machine or a trail rig that can handle anything you throw at it, this kit gives you the geometry and travel numbers to do it right. The quick caster adjustment feature is a detail serious builders will appreciate - it's the kind of thoughtful engineering that separates a precision racing product from a generic lift kit. If you're ready to unlock the full potential of your Yamaha Rhino, the LSR XTR Suspension Kit is the definitive upgrade.

FAQ

Do OEM wheels work with this kit?

OEM wheels will not work in the rear with this kit. Because the XTR kit adds 6.5" of width per side, aftermarket wheels with the correct offset and backspacing are required for the rear. Be sure to spec your wheels to match the new geometry before finalizing your build.

What shocks do I need for the XTR kit?

The XTR Suspension Kit is designed to work with long-travel shocks - OEM-length shocks will not work. You'll need to source long-travel shocks separately that are appropriate for the travel numbers this kit is designed to achieve (14.25" front, 15.5" rear). Popular choices include bypass shocks or remote reservoir coilovers sized for the Rhino's XTR geometry.

Will I need to trim my fenders after installing this kit?

Possibly. Because this kit adds 6.5" of width per side, some fender trimming may be required to clear tires and avoid rubbing. The extent of trimming depends on your tire size and wheel offset. This is a normal part of wide-travel suspension builds and is manageable with basic fabrication tools.

Are ball joints included with this kit?

No - ball joints are not included. The XTR kit uses your existing OEM stock ball joints on the lower arms. If your factory ball joints are worn, it's a good idea to replace them before or during installation.

How long does it take to receive this kit?

Lead times can vary. While some components may be in stock, certain configurations may have a lead time of 10 weeks or more. If your build is time-sensitive, we strongly recommend contacting us before ordering to confirm current availability and estimated ship dates.

Is professional installation required?

Professional installation is strongly recommended. This is a comprehensive suspension overhaul that involves modifying your vehicle's geometry, caster settings, and axle lengths. Improper installation could affect handling and safety. A qualified UTV or off-road fabrication shop will ensure everything is aligned and torqued correctly.
