home made lift kit
has anyone built a homemade lift for a mid 80s ezgo. i know there are store bought ones out there but i am the kind of person who would rather build it myself. i have a spare front axle laying arount i think i am going to make me a drop axle for it any ideas the one question. when you buy a drop axle is it as wide as the rear axle or do they make up the differance with spacers.

Re: home made lift kit
Depending your fab skills and tools, it shouldnt be too hard to do. Drop axles are normally 3-4 inches wider than a stock axle.

Re: home made lift kit
Keep it at 5-7 degrees negative and you will be fine.

Re: home made lift kit
 This is a drawing of how I do mine. I have yet to need the trailing armsbut would on anything over 6" lift I cut, flipped and rewelded the spindle arms to put the tierods on top and out of the way.  The back is two plates with 2" sq tubing riser.  This is what I do with rear spring models.  |
