Default Lift Kit Advice g29

HI All,

I'm looking to put a lift on my 2015 G29. I am currently highly considering the madjax a-arm kit, but torn between a 4" and a 6". Would anyone here be able to share some pics of their yamaha cart with a lift. I specifically want to look at some 4" and 6" lifts and compare to make my choice.

Also, interested in anyone who might have some different brands of lifts. Specifically GTW lift or block lifts. Totally new to this and I keep seeing the GTW lift and some random block lifts and wondering if they are any good. There are little to no customer reviews or pictures of carts online with these lifts in them. Maybe that's why i keep leaning towards the madjax a-arm, because there are so many customer install pics online. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

What exactly is the "block lift" type you speak of?. Yamahas dont have leaf springs to "block up". Not sure what you are referring to.

Some of the CO's that make the shock extension bracket kits are calling them block lifts even though they are not actually block lifts.I have the steeling and they call it a block lift.

Sharp looking cart. I also have 20" tires so I think that is look I'm going for. Are you happy with the Steeleng block lift? Any regrets with it or issues to be aware of? Thanks for the help!

Thanks, I'm happy and have not had any issues with the lift but my cart is just a campground cruiser.

I recently bought the 4” on eBay. It was $135. https://www.ebay.com/itm/363281805752

22” tires 12” rims from golfcarttiresupply.com

I have been looking at that cheaper ebay option. I just bought 20" tires for my G29 and it rubs, even though multiple places online, including the seller
, state 20" tires are fine with HD rear suspension. Anyways, its been about 2 months since you posted, are you still happy with the lift?

Yes, I'm perfectly content with the 4" lift. In many ways I like it better than the 6", both in usability and appearance. I have 22" tires, my instructions said to trim a little of the black rocker panel piece for clearance. So I did that with a cut off wheel on a dremel. You can see where I did that if you expand the pics I posted. Since you have 20" tires, the 4" lift would look better than the 6" in my opinion. Also, regardless of what inch lift you get, so long as your machine has a straight rear axle, the only additional rear ground clearance you'll get is half the size difference between your new and old tire heights as rear lifts merely lift the body higher above the rear axle.
