Default Allsports SS 6 inch lift questions

Just got the Allsports SS 6 inch lift I ordered for my electric cart. When I did an inventory of the parts, I noticed that there where only 2 ubolts included in the box. I could swear I read somewhere on the forum that they changed the plate and were including 4 ubolts and the top plate to mount the shock to. All I received was 2 ubolts, 2 strips and the 2 blocks. I did notice that there was also instructions for a gas rear lift inside the box. Could I have gotten a gas lift by mistake or even an old stock model that has not been updated?

Here's the thread that I think you're talking about:

http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/lifte...-arm-lift.html

Being that you have a 92 CC DS, I'm pretty sure that your only supposed to get 2 U bolts for pre-97 carts,
and the 4 U bolt set-up is for 97+ DS's
And it's to my understanding that SS rear lifts should work for both gas and electric DS's!

I'm about 80% sure this is correct, but, it wouldn't hurt to either call your lift supplier,
Or wait for someone else to chime in with a pre-97 DS! (*EDIT* Tom beat me to it! )

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the replies. I got the lift direct from Allsports. Parts of my order were messed up already and they are making that right but I didn't notice this issue until after business hours. I don't see how in the world the shocks will fit on there now and there are no shock extenders. I'm going to look at that thread and give them a call this morning.

Thanks

That top plate is nothing like I got. I received two steel strips around an inch wide and around 4 inches long. There is nothing to mount the shock to except the existing OEM mount. I need to have this on and riding by tomorrow but it is looking like it will not happen. I went to their site again and noticed that the picture on their site has the 4 ubolts and two top plates. I'm going to call them now and see if they can get the parts to me by tomorrow.

Thanks

Man it seems like Allsports needs to drug-test the kid who's packing these things up. Yeah when I only got two u-bolts I was miffed, but then the guys here pointed out that the u-bolts mount diagonal (one u-bolt per leaf). Allsports didn't, however, send me the pair of two-hole plates that mount atop the leaf springs (that the u-bolts go down through). I made them Next Day Air me those plates and a missing nut from the front suspension. They made it right, but still a hassle.

You didn't get any shock extensions? My cart is an '87 and I got 4 of them (2 per shock). I don't know what year your cart is but I would imagine you would need the same 4 as well.

Mine is a 92. I swear I read on here that they changed the design within the past six months to 4 ubolts and the top plates for added strength because if some issues they had with them. I realize the bolts go diagonal but it seems that if there were 2 bolts per side with top plates it would be so much stronger.

Thanks for the replies guys.

Here's the small top plate and u-bolt on my Allsports 6" lift. It's just a small piece of steel with rounded ends and two holes in it. I wish Allsports would redesign their u-bolt plate like the one Tom Burke has on his (he has the Jake's lift). I would love to just have my lower shock mount higher, rather than use the hokey extensions that Allsports sends in their kits.




And here's a pic of what the shock extensions look like when they're installed. You get a total of four, two per side.
