If you use just taller shocks in the front, you will have huge camber problems... Wheels looking like this \--/ .

Worse case scenario is if you find a nice shock thats taller than stock and you can weld you can cut off shock mount and reweld it to take care of the camber issue... Be Leary of the cheapo I bought them one time and took the spring off to paint them just to find out that the "shock" was just a slider (went in and out with no resistance) so the only thing I gained was new springs witch didn't help

I doubt it is a good idea... Shocks react to a load and definitely the weight of a golf cart has nothing to see with a motorcycle or even an ATV, especially if you have extra seats!

I also find it is a security element as it can highly impact on the "driveability" of the vehicle...
