Re: Lift kit opinions
I've got the 6" Steeling kit on my Carryall. Very easy to install, rides great. Suits all of my purposes perfectly (mostly just increased ground clearance is all I was looking for). I've got no complaints about it, plus it was cheap! The cheesy "SGC" plate in the front is thin and already pretty bent up, I'll probably just take that off, but that's just aesthetics.
I did have to remove my rear sway bar, but don't notice any difference with or without it. But, I don't believe a regular DS has a rear sway bar anyhow. One thing I would recommend before you install ANY lift kit, order new bushings and guides for the rear leaf springs. You'll need them, and it's the perfect time to install them when you have the leaf springs out and sitting on the ground :) |

Re: Lift kit opinions
Since the OP is going to use their cart on flat roads and fields in Florida, I would think any name brand lift will serve the purpose. For us that use carts as an off road ATV, we go with a lift that may provide a more forgiving ride. I bought and built my cart to be a stealth hunting buggy. If I had to do over, I probably would consider a spindle lift just to reduce the possibility of noise. Let's be honest a cart with a 6 foot wheel base with solid rear axles and leaf springs doesn't scream soft ride.

Re: Lift kit opinions
I have an Allsports 3” lift that works great. There is a part of me that wishes I had gotten a lift that can accommodate the addition of front disc brakes. But otherwise I’m very happy.

Re: Lift kit opinions
Can any of you guys put a picture of your lifted DS so I can see what those lift kits look like? I've seen some carts where the front wheels are sitting way wider than the back and it looks weird to me. Not sure which lift that is though.

Re: Lift kit opinions
My lift is a 6" Madjax HD double a-arm. 92 CC DS gas frame. I don't have a picture looking from front to back, I'll try and get one tomorrow. The front tires do not setout further than the rear tires on mine.
