Lift questions
Ok let use the knowledge on this thread. I have an 03 ds iq converted to a series hunting cart with pq grizzly 2 with 700 amp controller Jakes spindle lift and heavy duty rear springs. We run almost exclusively off road with it. We've had the front of the frame break at the weld now several times. I'm thinking an a arm lift will help. My question is does anyone have any experience with Jakes, All Sports or even another brand of a - arm and long travel lifts? Is one better than another what are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I know long arm are more $ but if they have better steering boxes it may be worth it.

Re: Lift questions
your close enough why not go down to jakes and check it out , their new long travel with their own shocks should be ready to go soon, ask though as they may still be in the testing phase but from what ive heard from the engineering dept they are going to be a nice upgrade

About 2 - 2 1/2 hours could be doable

Re: Lift questions
Ive got the 7.5" all sport. Love it, no surprises, included ultra hd 4 leaf rear springs. My only complaint is the leaf springs are way too stiff. Im going to be removing a leaf or 2 in the near future. Fyi I have no back seat or bed in the back of my cart so those weren't necessary.
