Front end rebuild
Well I got my cart running thanks to all that chimed in. I noticed when I turned right the left wheel would be all cockeyed and not the same as the right. After looking close, the axle is bent and I think thats what is causing the issue. It's got cart concepts stamped in the lift spindles so I'm unsure of what size lift it is. I'm running 23s very easy. Gonna straighten the axle back out and beef it up just a little. Any ideas I'd love to hear or see.

Re: Front end rebuild
This is how bad it was. First picture is straight side. Last picture is the side that was bent. Got her all straight andre welded all the cracked places and also added a piece of 1-1/4" angle to the bottom to add just a little more strength. Didn't want to beef it up much because I have lift spindles. I'll take some more pictures when the paint dries.

Re: Front end rebuild
I'm thinking that "Cart Concepts" maybe had really bad concepts of how to make strong front ends. It appears to me the metal said front end was made from is no where near strong enough to do the job. If your reinforcement doesn't do the job, you likely will need to consider another lift kit that can handle the load.

Re: Front end rebuild
Yea i agree. Here's it now beefed up some. The axle is stock. The 1/4" angle worked perfect. Working on the the tie rod because it was bent also.
