I have a Jakes A-arm kit on my Ezgo and it is a well made system. Seams to be rugged and looks cool too.

I put a Jakes 6" spindle lift under a EZ-GO and it worked great. I put a 6" Super Sport lift under a Club Car DS. I really like the Super Sport for the CC, it looks good and it is well built. The Super Sport is just a little more work to put on, but I think it is worth it.

Never mind. I just googled and I see the super sport is a a arm lift so more work makes sense

I have installed several supersport lifts. I really dont' think they are anymore difficult to do than removing the stock suspension and putting it back on. a jakes is the easiest to install, but if there is a camber problem, there is no adjustment. it also has the exact same travel as the stock one. while a supersport has a couple extra inches.

just my .02

I put the buggies unlimited spindle lift on my 92 cc ds. my brother put the jakes spindle lift on his 98 cc ds. i like the buggies unlimited better simply because it has lower control arms allowing for camber adjustment and adds some support to the lower portion of the spindle. both were just as easy to put on. mine was also less money than my brothers.

I will also add no matter where you get your lift from. Make sure it is USA made with USA stuff. The last thing i would want to do is plant foreign made steel or fab work under the front of my toy! if it doesn't say made in the USA you can be pretty assured it isn't. Sometimes things are more $$ for a reason...
