Default Lift kits?

Looking at purchasing a lift kit. Don't know which route to take. Long haul 6 inch or 7 inch double arm. Can someone give me some pros and cons on this topic? Thanks!

Long Travel will give you the best overall ride quality.
Double A-arm is second.
A spindle lift is the easiest to install but offer no real improvement in ride quality.

I bought a 6" a-arm then sold it and bought the long travel for adjustment reasons. I ride on roads ever day this way I can eliminate a lot of tire wear.
I could have saved a lot of money had I done it first.

I just bought a 7" All sports double A Arm and fit 23" tires on my g2 no problem.

If you need help installing the A-Arm kit, let me know....the instructions are pretty weak. You can PM me.

Just remember Rocket Man the bigger you go with the tires and lift the more power your going to need to turn them tires. I put Plowmans clutch kit on my cart and i went with big 22's. With a built factory engine my cart would climb hills but not as well as i wanted. I went with the clone engine and now it has all the speed and power i need to get up hills with the larger tires. As far as the lift if i had the money i would go with the Long Travel.

Allsports 7" dual is what I run on my g16. Good rid, plenty of lift for 22's, and still makes it thru the tight trails.

Best advice.....long travel..... You won't be disappointed and can fit 22 to 24 inch tires on most.
