Would you use these?

SCRAP · 04-23-2010, 09:20 PM

I know that I should buy a complete lift from one of the preferred sponsors, the cart won't be used for hardcore stuff like jumping or anything. The worst it'll see is some rough terrain at the deer lease, w/ larger tires of course, and clearance. I could spend a 100.00 more and get a good spindle lift from a sponser. What do you think about these, and durability? http://cgi.ebay.com/Club-Car-DS-5-Fr...item4ceea93732

Thanks

JMO here, but I have seen those similar spindles for a EZGO, I am tellin you, one good pop of a hole or large rock and that weld will snap off. Again just my .02

That's only the front ... what are you gonna do in the rear to match the 5 inch? Keep looking

I agree with MarksKarts and scottyb. It looks like a poor design that was cheaply made, and no provisions for the rear of the cart.

I kinda figured the quality would be poor, and I hadn't read anything about these here either.
The rear isn't the hard part to deal with. I've lifted the front end 2" already, it's just not the greatest way to do it. It ended up narrowing the front end nearly every bit as much as it's lifted. I wanted to build/fab a lift myself and see what I got before I spent a lot of $$$.
