RXV body, lift, maintenance oh my..
Well as I have been reading on this site as well as others and I have not found my topic about lifts. So here goes. Which is a better lift system and why for a ez go rxv? Jakes or going with the oem one from ez go? Or is this one of them glass half full kinda things?*
Another question is has anyone taken the front cowl and body off a rxv? I have a buddy who would paint it for nothing if I either tape it up or take it apart. I would rather take it apart for better results. Which I'm sure most would agree that taken it all off is the better way to go Last one for now..ok I've read on the maintenance fill systems and still lost as to this question. Do I leave it on or take it off. From what I have read here there is a mix of feeling on them. Some say leave it while others say get rid of it. Just want to do what will be best in the long run for the cart. Thanks in advance Chris Still new to all this so go easy on me |

Taking the front off is easy.2 torq screws on the sides and 4smaller ones on the dash.As far as lift kit jakes has the best name. I have recently used an off brand name kit and it's well made. I picked it up locally for 250 for a 6" lift.

Re: RXV body, lift, maintenance oh my..
On your lift question.... I have a 2008 RXV with a Jakes lift, had it on for the past three years and no issues. I find Jake's kits are quality lifts. I also replaced the stock rear springs with the heavy duty replacement. Add monroe shocks in the rear as well.

Thanks for the responses. I'm leaning towards the jakes lift at this point. Going to go ahead and replace the rear springs and shock as well. Might as well while its taken apart and not have to do it later.
Think there is enough room behind the cup holder to put a 12v battery? I think there might be just enough room as long as its a sealed type battery. Thought? |

RedKing, give us some more info on the shock you used on the rear of your RXV. A item # would be great and some feedback on performance. Thanks |

The shocks provide great stabilization and no bottoming out even with some heavyweights on the back seat. |
