Lift question?

Golf-Dart · 05-12-2021, 09:23 PM

i'm looking into putting a lift on my EZGO because it sits too low. It currently has 10" wheels.

If i get a 6" lift will the tires/wheels still be ok for it or will i have to get bigger wheels and tires so it doesn't look odd?

Kinda looks like a basket player with tiny feet. See pictures

Yeah, it'll look odd. You could go with a 3" lift then keep your rims but get larger diameter tires to go on them.

Or just plan on 12" rims and tires when you do the 6" lift.

Know that with a big lift and big tires it does make the cart feel more tippy at higher speeds. Every cart is different, but my cart feels unsafe at 30mph or more, so I have it currently limited to 29mph via the RPM limiter in my Alltrax controller.

I added heavy duty struts and springs (you can see them in the pic) $99 on Amazon. Cart drives like it’s on rails now. No body roll at all.

After changing my controller so the cart goes 30+, I decided there ain’t no way I’m lifting it.
It seems everyone does a 6” lift and big tires, and yeah that looks cool.
But it will drive and handle better lower.
Even if you off-road, my definition of better off-road includes not rolling over on a side hill.
