just to let you know its a 10 inch lift, moved front tires forward 2.5", centered rear tires in wheel wells and made the width 6" wider.

Most carts can get around with 22-23s, but 25s start to make it tough on stock power. But G1 is about the most power of any stock cart. It becomes a problem on hills mostly.

Here are the pictures, 10" lift, moved front end forward 2.5", made the front end 6" wider, dropped front of swingarm about 4", and recentered rear tires.
