804 GXT lift - Hand Made.
I'm planning on lifting this EZGO GXT I have this weekend. Only problem is no one builds a lift for it. Sooo....I made my own front. Not to be confused with "other" home made lifts. I used some of the parts from the stock axle. I'll throw some paint tommorow with new pics.

Re: 804 GXT lift - Hand Made.
Wheww! I was worried. I saw how these guys ripped that other guy. LOL!
I drew the main beam in CAD an cut it out on our CNC plasma table. The whole main beam "was" peices of flat plate. Not a tube. The hardest part was getting the angles correct. ( no jig, just angle finders etc.) Its ALLOT stouter tha the stocker. I used 3/16 plate. The stocker is .100. I also used thicker shock mounts because of the added length. |

The only drawback is that you will probably have to big block the cart to move that massive piece of hardware!

Re: 804 GXT lift - Hand Made.
You may have a slight problem friend. The front springs on the 804 cart are not flat. You may have to throw a wedge under the spring in order to achieve the correct steering angle "caster". I ran into the same problem with mine when I lifted it. What will happen if you leave it the way it is - you will experience tire scrub and possible bump steer. However, you did a fantastic job on the fabrication!!!!
Also, you can check with Allsports for a lift - they make one called a high 5 |
