Wheel/tire/lift question
I guess this is where we post technical questions. I have a '97 Club Car DS that I'm looking to add a Jakes Long travel lift with 14x7 twist wheels with a 3:4 offset with 23x10.5 Sahara classics. My question is... Is thee anything else I need to do to my wheel base/suspension for this set? Wheel spacers,etc?
This is what I'm starting with.   Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Wheel/tire/lift question
I would think 2" rear wheel spacers might be in order!
I'm not personally familiar with a long travel lift, but it seems that everyone that does have an LT, has rear spacers! I think the lifted golf cart forum might get more views and responses... would you like me to move it there for you? |

That would be great. Thanks lockman1. I wasn't too sure where exactly to list my question.

Re: Wheel/tire/lift question
Better than OEM shocks for the back since you'll be getting better shocks with the front lift.

Re: Wheel/tire/lift question
The Jakes LT for a Club Car has the rear lift, so no worries!

That's what I thought. Thanks for clarifying. Currently I'm running whatever comes stock on '97 Club car DS's. Lol. I was wanting to run 14" wheels however Jakes website says the max size wheel and tire you can run is 23x10.5x12 so I'm assuming a 12" wheel is the max I can run. Would I be able to run the 14" wheels and tires if I run wheel spacers? Is this situation where spacers come into play? |

Re: Wheel/tire/lift question
CTD ~ Madjax 3 1/2" A-arm on top of a factory Z on front, and an All Sports Super Sport rear
OSG~ The spacers come into play because it widens the stance of the rear tires to match the wide stance of the LT! And I think Jake's could update some of their material... On the opening page for the #6235 scroll down and it says max is 25x10.5x12, yet on the install instructions, it says 23x10.5x12  I'm pretty sure 14" rims would be just fine, I bet that 14" rims weren't readily available when they printed their instructions! You can always call Jake's to find out if you can use them!  |
