Allsports Longtravel lift kit for EZGO golf cars

Have you read the part where I said that I'm not saying anything bad about the Allsports? I'm glad you like it, because at the end of the day - who cares what anyone else thinks.
It looks like a decent suspension system, and there are a LOT of advantages to that system over a Strech Plastics - but you have to look at your application. I'm just saying I wouldn't call it a long travel kit. I'm not too sure that I would even go as far as calling it a mid travel...

I am not mad. LOL! I really could care less what anyone thinks. Its not their money! I think its a good discussion but your logic is full of holes. Like you and I both said, its the application. Trust me, if I were ridin the dunes I would get a stretch but the nearest dunes are 600 or so miles away. I like them both, IMO the stretch looks pretty cool but it wasn't for me.

How could you not call it a mid travel kit? The strech is 8.5 and this kit is 6. I consider 6 at least mid travel. I personally would call a 5 a mid travel kit. Dude, you got to be kidding me.

You are mistaking lift for travel there. The Allsport is a 6" lift. It doesn't advertise anything about the travel increase - at least I didn't find any travel specs on it. Actually I think the Strech is only a 7" lift anyway. But it's a +6" track and give about 10" of travel. You guys are all getting fired up over my opinion. Just install a 10" lift on your solid axle and call it a long travel because you got a few more inches of travel on your front axle. You can call it xtreme travel for all I care... but I wouldn't.

Again - you missed the part where I said it's not a bad design. I even said it's better than the Strech for some applications. But not mine

I couldn't find any specs on the stretch kit. Doesn't say how many inches of lift or travel anywhere on their site. Does anyone have a spec sheet? No guess's please, just fact.

Not saying anything bad or good about it, just clarifying what long travel usually means...

No its still a long travel if you look at the pics you see the a-arms pivots are closer to each other unlike the strech plastic ones, the strech one has the pivots about 7" apart, arms look about the same length!!!!

I second this and this was one of the major reasons I went with the normal 6 inch lift instead of the long travel.

6 inches increase in track each so 12" overall width increase. 12" of travel.

If you have the specs on those shocks you can figure out the travel on the Allsports.
