Is it 36v or 48v?
Is it stock motor/controller?

If the batteries are good and the driveline is good then you can build your own lift on the cheap. like a 2 or 3 inch lift? Then if you want new, pretty, shiny rims/tires you can buy tire/wheel combos starting at around $500 and up to around $750.

If you are running just camp grounds then all you may need is the pretty stuff...

Caveat: This is the cheap method... You can do the same thing, only better, for a lot more $.

Depends on how your cart is set up, but a lot of people buy a piece of square tube and put it between the axle and the rear leaf springs. Then some longer bolts and the rear lift is done.

If you go too high you may have issues with your brake cables. Doing the rear like that will also require (usually) the same thing be done for the rear shocks.

Often the front is similar, especially for smaller lifts like 2 inches. The bigger the lift the more stuff you have to worry about.

Lastly, the stock cart can handle larger wheels/tires as is. I don't know how crazy you can go without a lift, but a little searching on the forum here can probably get you what you need to know.

Do you like the current speed/torque of the cart? Larger tires will increase top end speed but reduce torque. You can play with this to see what your theoretical top end would be.
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/speed-calculator.php

Your motor may state the max RPM on it, but if not you can substitute 3600 as the max. Yours may be different. And 12.44 for the ratio.

If it were me, I'd look for a set of 20" or 22" HIGH PRESSURE tires (makes a difference) and pretty 4 on 4 rims and try that first. Then think about the lift after playing with those on the cart to see how it looks. Just my $0.02

There's a guy looking to offload some rims in the For Sale section. Don't know if it's your style, but maybe worth a look.

What is the wall thickness on the square stock you picked up? Just make sure it isn't something too thin.
