YAMAHA 4" BLOCK LIFT worth it?
If I ever get my engine sorted out on my G9 (minor overhaul) I might want to lift it. The Block lift kits seem pretty inexpensive. Are they worth it? I really don't want to shell out the $$$$ for the "good" lifts. I already get the "look" from the wife about spending more money on the old cart.

Re: YAMAHA 4" BLOCK LIFT worth it?
The 4" lift will serve you well, if you know your limitations. Around the house and mild off road you will be fine. I have the 4" lift from Steeling on my G16 yard cart. Zero problems. The newer block lifts are better engineered than the older ones. https://www.steelenggolfcart.com/col...ock-lift-g2-g9

Re: YAMAHA 4" BLOCK LIFT worth it?
If you are lifting it just for looks, then it will work fine. I think you can use 20" tires with a 4" lift. Keep in mind that the handling will be affected. Single a arm front suspensions usually are very finicky when it comes to toe and camber changes and if they are off the steering and handling can get a little sketchy at higher speeds. Replace your front shocks if they are worn out, this can help quite a bit. Poor handling, sagging front suspension, erratic steering feel are all signs of worn front shocks.

I dont plan on really any off road stuff. Mostly pavement and gravel roads. I know it needs shocks in the front. I have the heavy duty springs on the back with the rear seat. I will get better tires when the ones I have wear out.

Re: YAMAHA 4" BLOCK LIFT worth it?
My opinion,
I used one of those lift kits on my G9. Regretted it ever since. Loved the cart, hated the lift. It rode like a Cadillac before the lift. Rode like a roller skate after it. That cart is gone, but if I had to do it again I would spend a little more for the double A arm lift. The all sports one isnt that much more. I dont off road either. Just around my property, and dirt roads mostly. |
