Not sure... Where did you see an EZ-Go spindle lift for your cart ? I think they have them for the RXV carts but that is all I know about

On my cart, well its not my cart now its another members... anyways I have a 97 DCS cart with a 5'' Jakes drop axle lift, with 20x10x10 ITP SS112 wheels. I put the 400a Alltrax controller and updated wires on it. This way you have enough lift if you ever decide to go with a bigger set of tires. The 20'' are great and have went everywhere I wanted and was not a torque robber. Plus there is a tire which I think was speed racers that I had on my
G9 that the resort approved for Golf Course use. Plus they went great on the hardtop, gravel, etc.

subby44, Like you said, do not go cheap, it will cost you one way or another. Stick with one of the known kits.. I normally buy the oem lifts but like I said, on this particular cart I never plan to do much more to than it being a people hauler at the lake place. 3 inches was enough for what I wanted and there was a $100+ difference in price. win-win for me. Your results may vary..

subby44 · 01-23-2013, 09:37 PM

Haha... so true kgsc... it is a win win for you. I will be ordering a new Jakes 5'' spindle lift in the morning.. now to start looking for tires and wheels... thanks again...

hey stewmagoo... you have any pics of that 97DCS????

kgsc · 01-23-2013, 09:42 PM

not sure if it matters but one thing to consider is transportation of the cart later. My 4" oem lift with 22 inch tires will fit between the fender wells of a standard truck. My brothers with a jakes 6" spindle will not as it is too wide..

subby44 · 01-23-2013, 09:48 PM

hmmmmm... I did not consider such a thought lol... your 4'' lift is an ezgo? or was it an all sport? whay was the Jakes to wide? the offset tires? Thanks pal... got me rethinking things now.. geeesh.. lol

kgsc · 01-23-2013, 10:03 PM

Sorry, shifted gears. My cart with the 3 inch AllSport lift is a drop axle and pretty sure the width didn't change. My oem lifts are 4 inch drop axle and I know they fit between the wells with my txt carts. Workhorses are too long to fit in the bed. The drop spindle kits mount to the stock axle and push everything out wider. If hauling on a wide enough trailer none of this matters

Well for some reason I can't post the phone pics but if you go under the forsale section the pics are there. kgsc is correct on the lifts. I would go with the drop axle IMO. Look under our site sponsors. I went through 3R carts. Speak to Sean. Plus mention the BGW and 10percent off. I will be honest I had lift, mounted wheels and tires shipped below 750 bucks

Stew, that is where my AllSports came from but not sure they are a sponsor anymore so didn't mention it..
