2008 EZ-GO ST 2 lift ?

auburn17 · 02-08-2011, 04:24 PM

I recently bought a 2008 EZ-Go sport ST 2, and from what I understand it has a factory 2" lift on it. I just installed a Jake's 6" spindle lift on my cart and it is huge.

The question I have is now the angle of the motor seems to be fairly drastic. Is this going to hurt anything on the motor or is there anything I should to do prevent something from happening to my motor?

Thanks in advance!

no u are fine,

just remember only put 1.5 qts (if you have robins/subaru motor) or 1qt (if kaw engine) and remark your dip stick. the dipstick will now be wrong. Your oil pump will be in oil.

Good to know. I will do that today.

Would you happen to know how big of tires I will be able to put on it now?

I stay with 22/23 for stability on our carts. I am a dealer. I would say you could run a 24 if you want.

I just became a bad boy buggie dealer (currently ezgo and yamaha) and they have 24" on them as standard height.

Thanks! I was thinking a 23 would be plenty since I am keeping the 10" wheel

One more question about this set-up, should I replace the rear shocks with a longer shock? If so, where would I find this. The front seems to ride fine, but the back is stiff.

Or could I remove one of the leaf's off of the rear to soften it up a bit?
