I expect to get Crap for this :) suspension lift
Ok, I will post pics shortly, cause i know we all like pics :)
I added some new tires/wheels, we went from the standard 17.5 to 20 inch diameter.... got some rubbing.... as to be expected... I kinda went redneck just to figure out how much lift I needed to clear without cutting anything up... Turns out it's 1.75 inches... I used a 2x4 aka 1.5" thick and a .25 thick piece of metal stock... it's just temporary I swear LOL Been looking to see what everybody else has done and possibly a kit .... not finding anything shorter than a 3" lift... So the plan was to just use some aluminum flat stock and build it up to 1.75... But.... Since the cart is faster, upgrades got me from 11-21mph and it's a bit loose at speed... not sure if it's the redneck lift or I just didn't notice until I added 10mph to the top speed.... If the lift isn't the cause of the looseness then what do you suggest to tighten it up ? If it is the lift and I put the geometry to far out of scope then anybody know a kit with just that short lift ? Thanks Mike As Promised... Pics :) |

When you lift a cart you will need to realign it or it will get squirrely at top end.

Re: I expect to get Crap for this :) suspension lift

Re: I expect to get Crap for this :) suspension lift
You should not need any weight on it. Just tow the front out a bit until it feels steady at higher speeds.
