Man those 14" wheels look good.

That ain't no joke! I fought with the steering spindle castle nut for hours before making any progress, finally got a pickle fork which finished the separation from the hub. Side note, when putting the rear end back together, only hand tighten each side until you get both sides on and then tighten once you get the leaf springs lined up. Took me a minute to figure out why everything wasn't lining up when I fully tighten one side all the way before I did the other. Noob lift installer, but had fun doing it all. Total install time about 5 hours. (Mulitple beverage breaks)

The rear leaf brackets (furthest back on the cart) had its bushings rust-fused to them. I found replacement bushing kits but need to find new brackets to use with them. And one of the ubolts snapped in half from the rust.

Well... I had good results (for the most part) the lift, wheels and tires showed up on time. The powder coat on the spindles was beat up so they gave me a $20 refund. Guess I don't really care. It's not a show queen. The lift went together really well (2.5 hours start to finish) The ride is really good, it looks great on the cart. My cart is a clean 2011 so that may be why I didn't have to use a torch to remove bolts.

I install lift kits all day long, but my personal cart has the Steeling kit. In my opinion, the Jake's kit for the EZGO's is garbage. After installing the Jake's kit, the front end lunges up and forward when you take off, and there are basically no adjustments able to be made. Steeling has sales from time to time. I think I got mine on sale with free shipping for $100

Wow can't beat that. How about all sports? Are they good quality? I noticed they have the same 5" lift for $219

all axle lifts are pretty much a copy of each other and will all ride the same. does it come with new spindles? from the pic it shoes a bracket to go on the factory spindle, the listing also says it has a 4 year warranty and lower in the listing it says it has a 2 year warranty.

The steeleng doesn't come with spindles. The allsports lift does. Think I'm leaning towards the all sports one just to get the new spindles.
