Is there a website for the Strech kit?

Finally got the strech LT kit on. I'm really happy how it turned out. There were some issues though, like the rack and pinion box location, the supplied universal joint and steering column had so much run out it hit the frame down tube and wouldn't turn past 1/2 halfway to the left(1/2" block with 10' angle mounted under rack and pinion box solved this, also had to shorten male spline 1/2" to make it work ). I went with a swallow offset wheel's in the front and deep dish in the rear to balance out the overall tire width and the spindle's wouldn't fit in the back of the front wheel's, had to cut off 3/4" from the tie rod end mounting arm and redrill mount hole( that was with 12' wheels).replaced bushing's in spindle's to get rid of slop on kingpin's, added headed bushing to top side of spindle and thrust washer since weight of cart forces spindle's up.This is a nice kit but in my opinion it need's some more engineering. I'm just glad I have a machine shop at work to do these modification's.

Looks good!!! How much did you pay for the kit?

Kydog · 11-10-2010, 11:25 PM

The shop I've been getting parts from had them match the price Cart addiction posted on the web at $699. I think it turned out pretty good. I also installed the GE D1162 torque motor with a alltrax DCX 500 controller with 1ga welding lead cables and to put to the dirt I just installed the new ez-go limited slip differential. As soon as these 36v batteries die I'm going to go 48v. I check the speed last by following with my truck and was clocking 21 mph. Next is a complete camo wrap. They'll never here me coming!(that sounds familar)
