99' G16 lift what's the tallest?

[Stewbuntu]

I have lifted a few things and my last ezgo was 6". My friend has an extra set of 25" tires since he is upgrading. His ezgo is lifted 10" with a BDS A-arm lift, so I was hoping to find a 10" lift. All I have seen is a 10" for Club Car so I'm assuming the break lines etc won't reach to do 10" with the yamaha. I could do a 6" A-arm and a 4 inch block on the frame and move the choke knob way down if it's possible. The 6 inch lift I last had in my ezgo barely cleared loading into my truck and would scrape the rear seat foot rest. I mostly drive through swamp water on the property to get to deer stands.

I have fabricated my own block lifts before from solid aluminum blocks and welding steering extensions on, made adjustable shackles, etc, but I'd like to wrench less and play more if there is a kit. I could weld and make the rear "goal posts" and sway bar bracket, but an A-arm is above my pay grade. I can do the shocks also.

The Yamaha engine should not be tilted too far, it has no oil pump & relies on the oil level being correct (that's why their oem lifted carts drop the front of the cradle too).

I've never heard of or seen a 10" kit. I'm thinking custom.

What's your goal? What will you use the cart for?

Like in I mentioned in the post - to drive through swamp water on the property to the deer stands.

Tilted? I wanted to lift it

The more you lift the cart, the more the engine is tilted because of the swingarm. Dropping the front of the swingarm will make the engine more level.

Dave is correct, unless you drop the swing arm.

One way to accomplish your extra height for swamp riding is to do a massive body lift. Suspension lifts on a Yamaha cart can get tricky with the single a arm suspension geometry. But you'll find nothing bolt on. This is a fabrication job.

So this will be a single purpose cart? Swamp riding? No trail riding? No on road driving?

And the axle is still 6" off of the deck...
