Precedent lift project (wish list stage)....

ColdBeer

Howdy folks! I'm plannin' on goin' up with my CC Precedent in the near future and I just wanted to get a few opinions and some input if yall don't mind.

She's a 48v cart set up fairly low now with 12" wheels, low-profile tires, HD rear springs, and a high-speed motor (She topped out a 32mph on a slight down hill grade according to my gps). But I want to change her stance. I've pretty much decided to go with 6' A-arm lift from Allsport, I'll keep the same wheels, but I haven't made a decision on the tires yet. I reckon that all depends on how tall of a tire I can run... I figured I could get away with 23" at the most but someone told me I could go up to 25" if I wanted. Any truth to that?



This is what my cart looks like now...


These are a few of the tire choices I'm lookin' at... I use my cart in the "Hood" quite a bit too so I'll be on pavement as well as mild/medium off-road. But I'm also a little bit woman in the sense that I'm not so much concerned with how comfortable the shoes are, as long as they LOOK GOOD!









Anyway, any comments/advise/opinions are welcome.....and probably needed.

Thanks!
CB

I would guess that all but the first one is going to ride bumpy and noisy on the street.

ColdBeer

Yeah, I kinda figured that. The 1st one is actually my 1st choice, but it only comes in 25" and I'm not sure that will fit.

That's a lot of tire to turn.... what is your power situation?

ColdBeer

Man, I'm not really sure about the power situation other than the 48v w/high-speed motor. I'm a novice when it comes to carts. I came across a great deal on the cart and the only mods I did at the time of purchase where to add the HD rear springs and the wheel/tire pkg.

I do know that the motor seems to "step" up in stages the longer the juice is put to it....

High speed is one thing, torque is another. And thats what you will need. I would also think that 25" tires will fit with a 6" lift but I cant promise. You could get the lift and tires but dont be suprised if you come back here asking about more torque A controller will solve that

ColdBeer

So.... the plot thickens.

Well I reckon I need to do a little more research on what I have, what I want, and what I need.

Thanks, fellas!

It never ends Finish one project on to the next

ColdBeer

Got another question as I sit here dreamin'.... If I go ahead and upgrade my wires to #2g. (with an eye towards the future for a new controller) could I see any improvements in cart performance just from that? Or should I wait until I'm ready to order the controller? Can't hurt to upgrade the wires now, right?

Thanks, fellas!

Coldbeer,

First off, I love the name!

My cart is stock electrically so I went with 22"s to avoid a new controller, wires, motor. Still have enough torque to get it into the back of the pick up truck.

The picture tells the story. I would have put on 23's for appearance, all things considered.
