First, welcome to BGW A few details will help, what is the serial number of the cart? How do you plan to use it? Hilly or flat ground? Do you want torque or speed or both? How much do you want to spend?

AllSports 7" (min) A arm lift
25" tires on 12" rims,
CPP Big Block. get the rev kit too! and maybe the cam...
Header kit

That'll get you going and into the woods! SHouldn't set you back more than $3500-4000!

Spend a day or two here researching, esp. on the lifted and hunting cart threads, lots of good insight that will help you select a vehicle....

Welcome to the nuthouse dawg ...... First thing I think you need to do and I don't know if it was touched on (maybe WW did)...... is to figure out how much ruffage ($$) is in your budget, just what you want to do with the cart ..... THEN see if the two can actually mesh. These little parts numbers add up very quickly .... the fabrication numbers add to that ...... and all of the bigtime go-fast parts, WhooWeee! can make you flat-out dizzy. Make a wish-list.

More of us than not (in here) get into this golf cart thing, only to find out there's a heck of a lot left to do, than money left to do it with.

Once you get the bug .... It's hard to get rid of.
