My 93 G9 I'm Fabbing And Working On Has Got A Major Problem I Put A Allsports 7" Double A-Arm Lift Kit On It And It Has No Travel

Trying To Find Solution To Problem Before Spending Any More $$ On It...Would Jakes Long Travel Coil Over Shocks Help Me Out? Need Ideas Thx, FireBall

a different shock may help you a little. but not much them lifts are really not mad for off road use in my opinion. i have had 3 carts with that kit and never was impressed. but don't give up yet I'm sure some guys on here has made them work.

LOL Trying Not To...Getting Really Tempted To Bite The Bullet And Buy Jakes Long Travel For It

I don't have that setup, but I would think a coil over shock with more travel will give you more travel.

your still using the stock 3" of travel shocks.
Need to put longer shocks on the front. look for snowmobile shocks that are about 3 inches longer to get 5 inches of travel. I put motorcycle shocks on my Dual A-Arm to get another inch of travel. It still does not compare to the Jakes long travel on my G16

watch the videos of my G16 and then compare them to the G9

Do you have a picture of your setup?

shawn.m · 01-27-2009, 02:32 PM

mike i can take a pic of mine but it is nothing special at the moment, just long shocks that mess up the camber. =)

I'm just not familiar with the lift. Unfortunately, it seems to be marketed as a 'double a arm' lift, but no true a arm features? Is that the overview or am I not reading this correctly?

mike
it is the all Sports lift here http://www.golfcartgiant.com/ya7likig.html

the suspension points are bolts running through tubes and reuses the stock spindle and lock washers. It does have A-Arms that do move, it is limited by the reuse of the shocks and mounting points for the spindle. The mount for the spindle is 3/8 steel tU-Channel hat bends
