4" or 6" lift ??

[BamaG14]

When I bought this cart , 1996 G14 with 22" tires,the guy said it had a 6" lift but lately I got to thinking maybe it wasn't that high. I think it is only a 4" . I only measure 4" between the bolts on the front plate if I am measuring right .What do you think ?

It's a grey area when you get into "home made" lifts. The only true measurement would be measure the floorboard of the cart stock, then after all the lifting mods, measure it again at floor board. Don't forget the bigger tires than stock adds to the lift amount as well...

[Dave in VA]

Stock floorboard height is 12".

Tonka do you think that is a homemade lift ? I thought it was some sort of bought one .I have seen similar lifts like this for yamaha's. I will go measure my floorboard height and see what it is .

[BamaG14]

Dave if 12" is stock height for floorboard I guess mine is 6" with the taller tires cause my floorboards measure 18". I don't know how everyone calculates theirs after taller tires are added or buying a certain height lift kit like a 4" and add tires making the lift really taller .

[Tonka329]

It could be a mass produced kit. Doesn't look like a home made. Never know by pics

If you measured 4" from bolt hole to bolt hole, it's a 4" lift. Most of the 4" lifts manufactured would have the brackets "bent" to create a rearwood offset, so I'd say home built. Would like to see a picture of the shock upper bolt drop bracket, that would tell for shure.

Yep,The center-to-center of the bolts is your lift-height.Likely homemade,or a cheap econo-kit,since it doesn't offset the wheels forward for clearance.

So the 22" fit with just a 4" lift for you? Was thinking that would not do for me.

[BamaG14]

FaberM if this is a 4" lift then yea the 22's fit with no rubbing at all on my cart. I use mine for hunting and go on some bad angle hills and such with no rubs .
