26 Inch tires on a PDS

Buya57VW · 01-19-2018, 08:09 PM

I have an EZGO PDS cart with a 6 inch lift on it. When I got it, it had 23's, but I got a really good deal on some 26 inch ATV tires. I put them on and the fit for the most part, but ANY bumps what so ever they will rub. How can I get another 4-6 inches on one of these? The rear looks like maybe just some bigger blocks under the springs, but the front I'm still trying to figure out.

it would help to know what kind of lift you have. pics would be good.

That's the problem...I'm not sure what kind of lift. It was on there when I bought it. For the front, it's just in the spindles. The axle is still straight. I was thinking that I could take a dropped axle with the spindles for the front and then bigger blocks in the back. I'll get pics tomorrow so we can figure this out.

Hey rib, did you have to add any supports to the rear blocks? That was my only concern with doing this. And are your tires not on backwards???

It's not my cart. It was a members here at BGW Pimp Daddy He passed away a while back.

PD had his tires backwards so they wouldn't dig down into the sand...

I have figured everything out for the most part. I just have one missing link. I already had a spindle lift which gave me 6 ", so I got an axle lift which gave me another 5" and now everything clears. I got a longer tie rod for between the wheels from my VW which worked great. The only thing I lack now is trying to figure out how to get the passenger side spindle to mate to the steering ball joint. I have to somehow make up the 5" gap. Any suggestions?
