Default G22 - upgrade help!

ok buying a 2006 G22 gas cart, going to use it on my 55 acres somewhat hilly. What is next. I do not have an unlimited budget...and I know it all depends on how much performance I want but what is the most bang for the buck?

1) I need a lift and tires I know for clearance but what one is best?
3" or 6" Jakes spindle lift - 6" G-max
is one more stable than the others?

2) power kit?
Do i just need the spring kit or the deluxe kit

3) rear springs?

4) limited slip differential? is this one a tough install?

Good questions. #1-I recommend Jakes, because of there strength and quality. If you are tall, go with the 6",if on the short side, go 3", It could get hard getting in and out. #2-If your not happy with the stock set up, useually a torque spring (and spacer) will do the trick. #3-try the first 2 upgrades first. Just my opinion, there are many others. Good luck on your new toy and lets see some pictures from start to finish.

Answers are as follows. #1 go with Jakes for the lift. 6" will allow you to run bigger tires and allow more ground clearance. #2 Spring and spacer only unless the sliding sheave is worn then go with the deluxe kit. #3 stock springs are going to be fine unless you are running a back seat kit the I recommend heavy duty rear springs. #4 I have yet to need a limited slip diff and I put my carts through hell. Unless you are riding heavily muddy areas you shouldn't need it. I also suggest replacing the drive belt when installing the torque spring
