97 Club Car DS - Internal Components for adding a lift & larger tires
Hi all - acquired my 1st golf cart and going through upgrade options/ planning. Here are the details -
97 Club Car DS: --Upgrading to 22" tires --Adding 4" Lift Cart Specs: --48v; 4ga wires; GE 5.5 Motor; 400AMP Controller; Stock Solenoid; Stock differential/ gears; No rear seat and not a carry all. Questions with the upgrade of the 4" lift and 22" tires: ---Do I need to upgrade the controller, motor or solenoid for hilly golf course/ street terrain? I am hearing recommendations that I should upgrade to a 500A controller, solenoid and an 8HP motor. ---Do I need to do anything with gearing? Thank you for the add to the forum - |

My opinion , I would lift it and add your wheels and tires and see how it goes. you already have a upgraded controller no sense of spending money if you dont need to . If you find it lacks torque then you can way out the pro and cons on a bigger controller . Same goes for the solenoid and motor.

And you definitely will not have to replace the gears.... 12.315 now.... Your tires will not hurt it with bigger motor and controller you already have.
