Hello G8 folks! Did a search... No specific answer provided 🙁
Can you get longer HD spring-shocks (approx 2"+/-) for 20x10x10's without having to use a lift kit? Thanks for any help!

for the back yes... front, not without still having to buy a lift kit to modify a arm angles for camber. I just lifted my g8 and decided on using the spacers from a 4" kit for the rear and the 6" a arm kit for the front and the result is a more level cart with the rear still being about a half an inch higher than the front.

I have 20" tires and honestly wish I either had a smaller lift kit or 22" tires.. they dont fill out the wheel wells as much as I hoped.
If they made a 3" lift kit for 20" tires it would be perfect. the g8 lift kits are interchangeable with the later G11-14-16 and I believe g19 as well. some of the g2-g9 stuff is interchangeable too as I have one of those too.

Awesome info, ty! I was thinking on a 4" kit and modifying it at a 2-3" lift.
My G8 has 4-seat setup... Think I'll still need HD spring/shocks in the rear?

Yamaha G8 rear seat
 
I'm finishing a 1992 G8A. I removed the utility bed and am looking to install a rear seat. Did they make a rear seat for this cart? Also, I need a front seat bottom (not the cushion, just the base) for this cart. Anyone have one?

Here is my G8 with a later body converted to 48 V with the do-it-yourself lithium and solar panel roof it's just about done. And ready for the campground. I think it's come a long way from the $750 golf cart it was in october when I bought it

The pics above have a Jake's clone lift on it. But I use the four inch economy lift kit rear extenders to make my cart level instead of the six inch rear section of the lyft kit

Nice. Did you paint the body yourself?
