jakes vs allsports on G9 (again)

[Newbylee]

thanks for the replies,guyes

I don't doubt the jakes is superior in strength by the way it is built ,a curved round tube is twice as strong as a straight square tube.and the only complaints I'm hearing is the stiffer ride.The ease of installation and the popularity would make it my choice for a campground cruiser.
Unfortunately,the road to our beach is less than ideal for a stiff suspension and you already need a kidney belt to drive a stock cart with mushy shocks
The allsports is a bit more $ shipped to Canada but I think it will be my choice. I can beef it up if needed. I will post pics in my G9 thread when it is installed

newby, I like the double a-arm, it seems to ride fine just haven't got to ride it much yet, we had a lot of snow this year and now it's melting fast. which means that the trails are a mess for at least another couple weeks. it is pretty beefy, I don't think you would have any problems with it, unless maybe you're jumping driveways or somrthing. lol and i will post some pics on members rides when i get some better pics.

I'm not judging the lug extenders... I just thought they look a little fragile to be holding a golf cart with 2+ people. How much have you been off roading with those extenders? If they are cheaper than the billet aluminum, I may give them a try... What size do they come in?

when they are on the cart they seem a lot sturdier than I thought they would be. also you can get them from 1 inch to 3 inch in half inch increments. I got them off of ebay from a place in atlanta. (really fast shipping too) haven't been off roading yet there is still 2 feet of snow on the ground here. lol

How much are Billet extenders? I have a machine shop and can make most anything reasonably cheap.

Attached is a pic of the air cleaner cover I made to match the wheels on my bike. Times are slow so would be open to some projects.

the cheapest I saw on ebay was around $150 for a set of four 2inch spacers. air cleaner looks sweet.
