lifted club car (please help)

bajarebel1 · 07-10-2009, 11:05 AM

I installed a homemade lift on my club car ds, 6" z lift in front and flipped axle with blocks in the rear. The problem im having is when i go offroad the front of the engine cradle falls out of the bracket on the frame, I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem and what i need to do secure it.
Thanks in advance

Did you move the axle back when you did the spring over? Pics would def. help...

The front snubber and mount needs to be rotated down (IMO) when you go 6" or more on a CC lift.
There is a picture on here that shows the bracket assy being relocated below stock. That also drops the engine back closer to stock level as well.
I just cant find the picture again.

here are some pics of what he is talking about i just did mine...the first one is the stock mount after the lift the second two are with the new bracket i had to put spacers between the existing bracket and the new one so i could move it forward enough for the plate that the snub bushing mounts on to fit i still need to put something besides the nuts in there for spacers it is working for now though i am waiting for a new snub bushing to be shipped my old one is shot..

thanks pbilly i am beginnning to see several problems with mine, first i have no rubber bushing on mine, and mine sits on alot steeper angle, how much did you drop yours?

the piece of channel came with the engine kit it is three inches i just measured and it it 3 5/8 from the stock resting plate to the new resting plate as you can see in the pics i still have more adjusting to do cause it still doesn't sit down all the way yet. you can see the gap between new one and the old one i had to drop it further down due to the s style of the original piece so i could be moved further forward
