Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
I have pics somewhere of another one that did not get pipes, just bolts and it sat on the axle and bolts squeezed everything together.... Get off the couch
You might have to use spindle risers.... google some or check the sponsors. |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Near 2 inches each side. This allows for the 4" drop axle install which is also 4" wider which helps those big tires clear the springs in tight turns... that is another thing to look at. Turn the wheel all the way and see how close to the spring your existing tire comes to it.

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Hey guy's there is no problem using this thread to help others so ask away that's what BGW is all about isn't it.
Hey scottyb I would love to see the photos of the one you did with out the Gas pipe. Was the plate something you cut up did you just copy / mirror the bottom one. Would you gain more strength running a weld or will it weaken the axel? Thanks. |

I was thinking of a 22x10-10 tire. Actual tire size, according to the website is 21.7x9.9. These would of course go on offset 10 inch rims. If this tire is mounted on a 10 inch offset rim, would the inside edge of the tire be farther out then what I have now, or would they be the same? If they are not farther in, then I assume I should be fine. If the tie rods can be lengthened 2 inches each side, I'd think there should be plenty of length to get the job done. Today they slant down in the middle, so they should be able to slant up some at their present setting. I take it the extra plate for the springs can be purchased so a person doesn't have to have one made, or try to make one themselves. |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
I haven't tried this with one of the new style axles, just the old ones without a steering box to deal with.... I'll find those pics ~ The extra plate just came from another ezgo... There were 2 sizes through a long and a short so you gotta find or buy the right ones....measure front to back they were 3 1/4 and 3 3/4 +/- a bit. I have a boat load of the short ones but can't help on the long ones?
On your 10" wheels the offset will make all the difference in the world, actually putting the tire further out away from the spring which is good... |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Hey Scottyb, I just pulled mine apart on the spare cart on your photos I see the front bolt going through the spring.
My spring has no hole, did you drill through it? from past experiences spring steel is a bugger to drill through. Did you make the extra set of plates or are the off the shelf ezgo dealer? Thanks Aussie Workhorse. |

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
Picture of the early flip.... You can see our bolts were a little long and you can see we used 2" shock extenders and new shock rubbers. That worked out good.

Re: Workhorse Front Lift Question?
These springs have a hole in the end of them... How on earth does your spring stay in place?
The plates are stock extras. |
