Re: 86 ezgo lift help
The probelm with block lifting is 2 major things. You will have negative castor, and it will have high speed wandering. Second, the springs will allow the front axle to fold under, making the lack of castor worse, and will eventually break the leaf springs hurling you through the front!

Re: 86 ezgo lift help
The lift kit is very ingenious. Great way to lift the cart with out spending a huge amount of $$.
Since we're talking 86 EZGO...does anyone have links to the technical manual for this year and make? Looking around and haven't been able to find one. Thanks |

Re: 86 ezgo lift help
I don't know about ingenious, but it was cheap. If Mopar92 is correct, I am fixing for quite a ride. Being hurled out the front doesn't sound like much fun. I have seen very little change in the caster, possibly since I only lifted the body by three inches. Remember the only thing that actually raised the axel was the tires. But honestly, the combination has worked very well.
I have an '85 manual, I could copy some pages for you it that would help. nomo |

Re: 86 ezgo lift help
My art skills are 2nd grade, but I hope this shows. When you hit something like a ditch or bump, it will allow the axle to rotate back more than go up with the bump. As it rotates back, it creates a lot more castor in the wrong way. Castor meaning that the shopping carts that have been hit have - castor and wag back and forth. The top pic is stock, the bottom is a 5" lift lets say... The red lines are the spindle yokes and you can see the rotation articulates in a little exaggerated way. The pink line is the kingpin bolt that goes through the spindle...

Re: 86 ezgo lift help
Nomo I need a diagram for the braided cables. The rmgine in the cart was taken apart and I'm trying to figure out how the cables operating the carburetor, a lever gizmo back by the differential, and the oil pump and anything else. Any technical pages would help...Thanks

Re: 86 ezgo lift help
Sadly, Jakes only has a 4" lift, so I guess, I'll buy it and block it 1", and that way it won't bee too bad.
