Since I've modified the front steering and suspensions of the Spiderbox and my wife has put it through the beatings I'd like to add some food for thought. Unless you've upgraded the ball joints the bigger tires are going to wear them out REAL quick.The ride on your kart will be greatly improved as "ckau" says, also general stability will be better with the front end elavated. The biggest tire I could manage to put up front was 19" with out frame interferance and I extended my spindle shafts. I had also cut additional grooves in the rack for a better turning radius as the stock radius is terrible.I found thru trial and error that the tallest shock the kart could stand was 15" in the rear. Good luck with your mod's and big up's to you for making the effort.
