Re: 1980 G1 is there a lift kit
You can get an all sports 4 inch lift or a 6 inch jakes lift. The 6 inch lift will require a frame mod so the clutch will clear it. Several people on here including myself have made their own.

The Jakes 6" is designed for '82 and newer models.

Re: 1980 G1 is there a lift kit
The 6" Jakes kit will require you to replace the spindles and hubs with the later 1982-up units. You will probably also have to modify your frame for clutch clearance. If you have a welder and fabrication skills you can build your own 4" lift. Here is how I did it:
http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/big-b...ckin-g1-4.html Here are the plans. Do not use the plans for the rear shock brackets, the dimensions are incorrect. Build shock extensions like Newbylee's, pictured here. Much simpler. |

Re: 1980 G1 is there a lift kit
Or, you can buy longer shocks for the rear. I just looked at some 15", I think stock is 12 or so. 2" might not be enough I'm sure my lift is higher than that. Going to try them though only 25 a pair. But I have a welder too, and I like to use it.
