Hunting cart lift kit

jrstephe · 11-22-2015, 08:07 AM

I have a stock 48v 2009 CC DS that I'm trying to get a smoother off-road ride. I'm assuming I need some sort of lift kit?? Any and all suggestions welcome. Thanks

48v. I was looking at a BU Christmas catalog and noticed they had a "Long travel" lift kit but it seems a bit pricey. It looks a lot different than the AA. Will the AA lift be independent and a better ride than the stock suspension?

we do not talk about BU

i have only used the jakes 6" drop spindle lift but others say the a arm is better
long travel is for hard core off roading

If you are using the cart for hunting and off road , go with the long travel. I would not consider anything else. The safety factor alone is worth going with the long travel

What safety factor are you referring to?

Long travel is the only way to go offroad

is long travel similar to independent suspension? I have paths cleared by a bush hog but its not the smoothest if you're trying to get across the property at a rate other than crawling.

Yes, Each side has a A Arm, so the wheels are not tied across together.

Having the long travel is not as ridged and stiff while on uneven terrain. A spindle or A arm lift does not handle nearly as well. I say the safety factor because the golf car is narrow (comparatively speaking)and has a low center of gravity while stock, however, when you add a lift and high torque motor it now is much easier to flip whilst off the road. When I did my lift, I had my kids in mind and wanted to make it as safe as possible because it will be used trail riding off road the majority of the time
