Just bought a 2008 EZ-GO ST Sport and have some questions/need input

Lift kit will depend on which steering box it has. If there are 3 bolts holding the steering column to the floor, it is old style. 4 bolts, it is the new style.

I'll check out the number of bolts.....thanks for the heads up. I took the 22" tires/wheels off my electric and put them on the ST. They fit and haven't rubbed yet but they're jammed in there tight. Looking at lifts now...trying to figure out where the ST gets its factory lift. If it's in the spindles, then a standard 5" lift will give me 9" of total lift. Hmmmmm.....might be a bit much.

Looks like I have the 4-bolt design. So this is the "new" style....correct?

thanks for the link....my front axle is the # 602512. Shows to be 2009+ ST Sport 400.

New style has steering box bolted to the front axle. Non lifted is straight across, the lifted has the spindles 4 inches lower.

The rack is mounted on the front axle but it really doesnt look like it has the 4" offset spindles. From the looks of it the rear actually sits a bit lower than the front so I was actually able to flip the rear axle but now the rear sits an inch or two high now. Wish there was a way to lift that front up just an inch or two.

My intent with this machine was to take it to the back 1000 acres that our neighborhood association owns....allow the kids to play at the lake and/or river, just cruise, etc. Problem is there are rule pertaining to offroad vehicles. I actually talked to the resident sheriff and we're allowed to bring golf carts back there (strict rules against atv's) but there are unwritten rules against lifts and big tires on carts :-( . I explained to him that my cart is mostly stock and showed him a pic. He agreed it would be ok but I dont want to push it by adding a 6" lift, arched front axles, etc. I think with an extremely mild lift on the front I'll still be ok. Wish they werent so difficult....gotta love HOA's :-(

Wonder if this will fit & do the job.

Look at this kit https://www.shopezgo.com/products/4%...-Lift-Kit.html if it has the spindles, that is the route I would take. Their wording is confusing so you may have to call to get the scoop. If spindles is yes, look around a little, I saw that kit for just over $200 elsewhere.
