Default Re: possible to beef up suspension without changing width

The lift won't affect the width,but the new wheels will.Aftermarket wheels are offset either 3"/4" or 2"/5" on a 7"-wide wheel,depending on mfg.Hope this helps.

the 4" lift actuatly widens the width by like 1-2". This is due to the spindles. Then you add offset wheels and you get even wider.

the 2" lift EZGO sells does not widen the cart.

Thanks for all the info. After some trades I took a deal for f/r kits and tires. I doubt its a jakes kit. After some tire and error, well a slight problem of not noticing that one of these 8" buggy tires was not offset and riding on the leafspring and chewing up a motor wire until at a campground. fortunate for me there was an awesome guy at the campground with some spare 2" spacers to sell me. With the 2" spacers on the rear it was a tight fit through the gate. Currently I have 10" ITP's on the rear with no spacers, and 12" electric car tires up front.. It is still pretty much stock width fits through the gate nicely.

I put the 4" economy block lift on mine and didnt like it. The steering was loose and no great way of tightening it up. I took it off and changed to heavy duty springs which gave me the extra inch or so clearance I needed for larger tires.
