I agree, the Jakes does hurt the turning radious. You do learn to deal with it.

I have the 3" jakes on my green g29 and yes in stick form the jakes kills about 3 feet of turning radius. If you have patience and a angle grinder with a poly sanding disc you can shave enough off the jakes spindles to get alot of the turning radius back. Don t go overboard and take your time and then finish up with a nice coat of spray paint

given your usage i would do radial turf tires on 14" rims and the 3" lift kit. radial tires cost more but give a much better ride.

If your playing golf and have a rear seat,a 6" lift can make club access a pain for Shorter people.. If you plan on teaching the kids it may be an issue.

My experience with a Rhox 6" A-arm -

New here, and have not posted my intro yet, but I gotta chime in here. I just built up a 07 Yamaha drive, and put on a Rhox A-arm 6" lift. My camber was correct, toe was set correct and double checked. My cart was no fun to drive, and felt downright out of control, especially with a passenger on board, and traveling downhill no matter how slight and even at lower speeds.
I removed the Rhox and installed a Jakes 3" spindle. The cart handles like a dream, and I could not be more pleased. I cant pinpoint exactly what my problem was with the Rhox lift, but I do know all I did was change to the Jakes lift and my handling problems vanished. I am running 22" Saharas.

guess I need to add ''your results may vary''

Their geometry was off on the Yamaha a arm lift. It sucked bad. They were supposed to take them off the market and redesign then
