Default Yamaha G1 DIY build, 6" lift and jeep front end

I'll be sharing some pics and Ideas of my G1 build, I've had this cart in the yard for about 3 years, (got it from a farmer, from the weeds) got it running (bad wiring) and it's been sitting since, I rebuilt a clubcar with 6" lift and HF 13HP engine 2 years ago so I'm going try a Yamaha, so far front end pilt is going good, easier than I thought.
I would have got a Jakes or other but they are too expensive for the G1.
Pics to come:

Looks good! G1's are great well built carts, also very easy to work on. Are you going to connect those two subframes with some welded steel? Also your shocks are upside down. Some shocks it doesn't matter, some the oil/gas will leak past the cylinder/valve and they will be very bouncy.

yes front subs will be welded together and back to main frame, yes shock is just hanging there to measure height to fab new mounts.
Should have more time tonight.
