I haven't done it but I do know that the Z400 has totally different frame geometry than the LT-250. It could be done but would take a little bit of fab work to narrow the bottom frame rails to the same proportions as the Z400 frame.

That being said, Metaltech makes extended A-arms for the LT-250 that bolt right in. They can even give you the option to run the Z400 spindles if that's what you want.

how much did were they?

$460 US + I think powder coating was to be around $60 but for some reason he didn't charge me for that.You will also need to get some stock arm bushings or bearing kits as well.

what about tie rods? Does that include them?

They included the longer tie rod sleeve and adjustable upper balljoint.Have to use your tie rods and lower ball joint.
