Recomendations for a newbie

essness

I picked up this 1997 workhorse last week. Someone was nice enough to steer me to this site from BU's boards and needless to say, I have found more quality help here than I ever did over there.

I need to lift this (note I said need).
My questions are, does anyone have recomendations for lift kits and wheel tire combos?
I'm concerned about this being easy to operate post customization. It is my wife's yard cart and I really dont want to hear any complaints.

I hope the pic uploads? If not, can someone help me with how?

Thanx,
Scot

Check here for lifts. http://www.cartpartsplus.com/lift-kits.html They offer lift kits and tire packages. I would personally just go with a 6 inch lift and 22 inch tires. It will give you plenty of ground clearance and still ride and handle good.

The pic doesn't work 4 me.....just scroll down this page to manage attachments select browse then select pics and upload then when upload is complete right click on the new link you created copy shortcut and paste into the box here....PS If it is the wifes cart and she is prone to complaining then leave it alone or have her help pick out the lift and tires....Get your own cart to modify.

Thanx guys.
But, not lifting and tweaking is simply not an option. I did get the pic up (thanx Scotty) The Yami in the back is the one I use in the hood. It will be complete when I get the seat covers. So, it's a long winter in WI. If I dont have snow for Snowmobiling (late fall and early spring) I need something to do. Tweaking this is the plan, just need to make sure it's easy on her.

I have heard and read some feed back on certain lifts that make the steering difficult. That is what I'm trying to avoid.
Thanx again,
Scot

I haven't heard of any from CPP causing hard steering. We have an ST 350 that, more or less, just has a standard lift from Ezgo (6 inch). Doesn't show any signs of hard steering. The Jake's lifts seem to be the most popular as far ride is concerned.

Sense its your wifes cart let her pick out the tires and wheels then no problem, I also put a pair of steps off of a pick up truck on mine the other half really likes the convenience

Thanks guys. I appreciate the tips. What I'm really looking for is ease of instalation, and function of the combo. And of course any side tips.
(the steps are a nice touch).

If it were me doing this I would use ST350 parts to lift it. If you want an easy way get a Jakes spindle lift kit. I would try to avoid those kits that have the foot long spring shackles
Using ST parts would be about the least expensive however this leaves you doing a little more than bolting up parts in the rear (there some pins and bottom out stops that have to be cut off the axle housing)

Jon,
Where would I get the parts for the 350 lift? Is it a drop axel lift?
Thanx,
Scot
