Lift kit advice needed

Budule · 08-25-2019, 05:39 PM

Wifey wants me to get bigger tires and lift up her new (to her ) 2014 Precedent , I am more than happy to dive right in ! She is gona gripe and be mad if this thing ends up harder to steer than it is now , so , my goal is to have a cart that is easier to turn the steering wheel in any and all possible situations than it is now …. there can be no instance where she can say " it didn't do that before you worked on it !"..... does this lift kit and or tires exist ?

I put the all sport 6’’ lift on my 14 precident it will turn sharper I really didn’t notice it being harder to steer and i have a very small steering wheel but i did put the factory leaf spring back in there to smooth out the ride. It helped a lot with the pot holes. I also extended the shackles here is a pic

Mine is all sport, got it from David, it steers easy and I think it may turn sharper as well. I liked it so good I bought one for my DS cart also.

I would also recommend an A-arm lift over a spindle lift. Lifting the cart will make it less stable, especially in turns, which is where an A-arm lift helps over a spindle lift. Wider tires or spacers can help with the stability issue if you find it uncomfortable.

In addition, I would recommend keeping the factory leaf springs, heavy duty leaf springs make for a harsh ride. If you do haul things or people, you could consider dual action leaf springs.

I think All Sports is the way to go for a double A arm lift kit. They are about the only one that offers 2 u bolts per side on the rear lift. I have the 6" with 23" tires. No issues here with ride or stability.

All Sports 3" or 4" lift is on my list, just haven't pulled the trigger yet. 6" to me seems too big. I don't want a monster truck. What size whee/tire combo are you considering? I was set on a 12" wheel but have backtracked to 10". I think I want as much sidewall as possible for ride comfort.
