Disc brake for 98 txt with jakes long travel

[chriskent85]

Does anyone know if there is a kit out there for these carts, It reuses the factory spindles so can i just buy a kit for that year, the jakes hydrolic kit is for 2001 and up

You get new spindles on their front disc brake kits that are drilled for caliper mounts.

But that also says that kit if for a 2001.5 and up. I have a 98

I misread your request. I saw 2001 and up. I'll bet you have to send Jakes your stock spindles so they can be drilled. Contact Jakes direct at glen@jakesliftkits.com or call 1-866-405-2537

I had a set of Jakes installed on my EZ-GO Txt about 5 years ago. They are still working great. Actually, their shop is located not far from the main campus of Penn State University....which isn't far from where I live. I can't do this type of work, so I just hauled my cart up there and had them install 'em. It was a good thing too because my lift kit wasn't a Jakes, and they had to alter and weld something on each of my front spindles. I can tell you the guy made a jig for it and said "this is good because the next one of these we get in, I'll have this jig...I'll just slap 'em in, weld 'em up and it's a ten minuet job." Mine was about 90 minutes for the weld.

But, these brakes are the berries!! They stop my cart on some very steep Pa downhills and when I hit the brake lock....my cart stays put!! (OTOH....I ALWAYS turn the wheels just in case the peddle would decide to have a fit and let go. The cart would just slide into the nearest tree!!!!......way better than down a half-mile hill. OHHHHH.....Ugly!!!

i talked to glen and im ordering the st non lifted kit, that way it will raise the tie rod mounts as well so i will be able to lift the front up to 8"s. since all it does is replace the factory spindle anyway.
