Lift Kit with a z-lift
I have a '93 Club Car gas that has about a 4" z lift on it from the previous owner. I'd like to lift it more. Can I add a lift kit now or once you've got the z lift you're done?
Thanks |

Re: Lift Kit with a z-lift
You should be able to add a spindle lift to it.

Re: Lift Kit with a z-lift
Unfortunately, once a Z-lift is on... your limited with your choices of lifts!
and adding a lift... TO a lift... is not always a good idea, and is rarely suggested because of safety! Yep... you could take the Z-lift off, patch and weld the frame, or just use straight plates! (Can you tell I've researched this?  )Yeah... I have a factory installed Z-lift and wanted it higher!  I added a Jake's 3" spindle lift and everything worked out perfectly! I've taken it off-road, and beat the cr*p out of it, (again... not suggested!) and for the last 4 years, it's all held up well!  Misc. 110.jpg Depending on how you'll use your cart, and the Z-lift you have, (homemade, or aftermarket bolt-on) and adding a spindle lift... There should always be that... "Will something give away?" in the back of your head! Do what you will... Just be aware, and be safe! |

Re: Lift Kit with a z-lift
Thanks for the replys.
It's a part time off road cart so I guess I got some thinking to do. |

Always build your cart to withstand its worst possible mission.

Re: Lift Kit with a z-lift
I had a 4" Z lift and the front of my cart was 2" lower than the rear. I hated the way it looked, so I cut new brackets with the plasma cutter (you could do it with a razor wheel on a grinder) that were 2" taller and pushed out 3/4" further. It worked perfect, now my cart is 1/8" lower in front. Here's a pic of the new vs. old Z brackets....

Re: Lift Kit with a z-lift
Here is a pic of the cart with the new Z lift. I have 23-10-10 on the rear with Polaris wheels and 23-10-8 on the front. I'm looking to get Super Swamper vampires 25-12-12 all the way around and I think I have clearance.
