Default Lift kit for off road use

What a-arm or long travel lift kit is recommended for a cart that will actually be used off-road? Any input on this kit: Everythingcarts.com ? Anyone have any dealings with this vendor?

I have a strech plastics long travel A-arm and it has performed very good. Offroad is all I do. Desert, trail and mtn riding and it has done extreemly well. You will also want a long travel 3-link rear susp. Good luck.

I have the older AllSports &" dual a-arm kit on my G9- I dont recommend for off road.
I have the Jakes long travel on my G16 and it is pretty good in the off road sessions that I have done with it so far.
Cant speak to the Terra Toys or Stretch Plastics. The Terra Toys look like it is the heaviest duty of all the kits.

Thanks for the input. Have had several recommendations for the Jake's kit. That is the most likely choice for me, little pricey but I would rather have it done right and safely than cut corners trying to be cheap on things that count.

The terra toys is a little heavier but look where they mount the shock, on the upper a-arm. The strech kit is mounted to the lower a-arm like a quad, much more effective I think. Just my $.02.

I have bought things for him before, you can't find a better person to deal with. One time I got a different lift kit then I ordered, he overnighted the right kit and gave me $50 store credit for the mistake. I don't think anyone will beat his prices either, anything I don't get direct from ezgo I get from there.

Just look at his avatar, he runs across a field into that rock to pop a wheelie, there is no frontend thats going to stand up to that kind of constance abuse. I've seen the vids and not meaning any disrespect but this guy could tear up a railroad track with a glass hammer.
