That's interesting. I bought a Lynx wannabe cart that was put together by a local hack golf cart shop, who then sold it to a private person that I bought it off of. The more I researched it, the more I found out I didn't have a Lynx.

I know that CC cut the frame and did an excellent job of reengineering it to make the Lynx and basically made a new cart out of used one. Never occurred to me that you would be stuck after that for mods.

To the OP,there is a sticky on what used auto rims will fit on a 4x4 bolt pattern cart. I would hit up the local junk yard and see what they had (rims/tires) for cheap. Rustoleum makes a rim paint if you wanted to bling them up.

I'm starting to understand that once you try to turn those big heavy tires, things start to burn up on a sparky cart. So if you're going low budget, better allocate another $500-750 for repairs.

For the beef-a-lo's you could always add a helper leaf. Clicky

Got nothing on the lift, but.... IMHO they are all just for looks and nothing else. So cheap E-bay would not be out of my scope. You may get what you pay for, but no-one on this forum has sold me on what you get when you pay more either.

Maybe not for you but I needed extra traction so I purchased a Jakes 3" rear lift, kept the front factory stock. I have 10" wheels and installed oversize rear wheels with aggressive tread.
