Jakes 6" Spindle Lift Kit Question

pogosmoke · 11-22-2010, 09:52 PM

I am thinking of getting the 6" SPindle kit from Jakes so I have the ability to add front disc brakes later on if i wish. My question is can you add shocks to these? If so is it a simple bolt on process?

You use your existing shocks.

I wasnt aware that the stock cart had any kind of front shocks?

They have shocks on all 4 corners.

Ok let me rephrase my question: I would like to get front suspension similar to what a Long Travel kit has with the coil shocks on the front. However I dont want to spend 900 dollars to do it. Can you do this for around 300 dollars with a different type of lift kit say a spindle or a drop axle?

I have a 2006 PDS Drive Ezgo.

I think your talking about a coil over adjustable shock? I dont see the room for them using the stock mounts, however I guess you could make new mounts and probably do it??

Thanks for the replies. Are there smoother more comfortable stock size shocks you can get? Whats recommended?
