2001 ezgo pds 36v 6in lift torque and tire clearance issues
Hi, I just purchased a 2001 ezgo 36 volt pds and installed a 6 in Jakes lift and 23 in tires. When I turn sharp or flex at all the front tires rub on the body. What can I do to fix this? HD shocks?
Also I need more torque for going up hills in my yard and pulling a trailer with the cart. Will a 500 amp controller be enough? Or will I have to buy a new motor also? |

Welcome to BGW!
Shocks do not support the weight of the cart. That job is for the leaf springs. New HD leaf springs may get you the clearance you need. |

Ok, sounds good. The back seems fine so I should just replace the front?
How about my other question, I want to upgrade to a 400 or 500 amp controller. Will the stock motor run okay with it? I've read mixed reviews |

bigger tires equal less torque unfortunately

Yes, but would a more powerful controller help?
