What kind of lift is this on my DS ?
I bought this cart from an individual, history of the cart is unknown, its a 99 DS, 48volt series cart, I've got to do some work on the suspension, bushings in the front , and the toe isn't right. Also on the rear one of my bottom spring leafs isn't staying inline, its rotating sideways and at one point was touching the tire on the back side, I've ordered a couple u-bolt plates and four u-bolts from All Sports, thinking that two u-bolts on each spring will keep that from happening again ?
Does anyone know what kind of kit this is ? I can't seem to match it up with any of the ones I've looked at online . |

Re: What kind of lift is this on my DS ?
No idea. It looks like some type of modified spindle lift. I ran through this last year with my lift and there are sooooo many generics out there I never could match it up (and the shop I bought it from had closed up). I needed bushings and got help from one of the other members that told me he went to Advance Auto and matched the bushings up off the shelf. I went down there and sure enough, I found some New Energy urethane bushings that worked perfectly.

To me it looks like the upper spring mount weld is broke.
Can't see the weld but backside seems to show it's shifted toward the wheel. Also note the shackle angle at it passes the lower axle mount. It's tilted. |

Need to order new shocks for the back as well, my "good deal" on a lifted 48volt golf cart is beginning to get expensive , fixing stuff that a previous owner didn't do correctly, or maintain. |

The upper spring in not welded to start with on a lift kit. They can be but most are not.

Thanks mrgolf. I missed that.
I have no experience with rear lift kits except extended shackles. It does seem shifted over a little so would this be from a loose U-bolt due to age stretch? |

Re: What kind of lift is this on my DS ?
Just wanted to mention I ordered four U-bolts and a couple of tie plates from All Sports manufacturing online last evening, this morning I got a call from a very helpful lady at All Sports, she was going to process my order and noticed the odd selection of parts I was ordering, decided to call me to see what I was trying to accomplish ? I explained to her what I was trying to do, she advised me I would likely need a couple more tie plates, and said she would include them with my order with no additional charge, and also would include an instruction sheet detailing how it all goes together . Needless to say I was impressed ! She went out of her way to call and make sure I was ordering the correct parts to accomplish what I was trying to do ! Don't run into that too often in todays business world ! Kudos to All Sports Manufacturing !

It's an Old-School Buggies Unlimited "Budget" Lift Kit. They've been discontinued for quite some time. I've removed several of them and replaced them with All-Sports Super Sport lift kits. The Super Sport Rear will come with all the rear pieces you need.
