It sits the cart up so tall that my parents in there 60's, grandparents, inlaws, and young kids had difficulty getting in and out of the cart because it was too high. Especially if you have a rear seat with the metal platform for the feet. Mine was around 18" off the ground at the rear platform.

My new cart was bone stock that i bought new from the dealer. This time around i wanted to do all the customizing myself which is funner. Stock height sucks and with the 3" lift and 22" tires its perfect for everyone. Plenty of clearance over curbs, small logs, ditches. Etc. couldnt be happier.



My back step is a lil on the high side too. Price ya pay for the look I guess - Mayor

Yours looks great I followed your build. Picking mine up today, is has a blue body, but owner has several new bodies and let me pic my color, I chose black. He is going to assiste in swapping the body and doing the lights today and tomorrow afternoon. I will go from knowing zip to a lot of how these carts work.

What brush guard do you have?

Do you think that offet will be ok? I think it will, anything lifted is going to be more top heavy, you just have to be cautious.

Thanks , It's a MadJax brand brush guard . I believe you will be fine with the wheels . Remember you have to trim your rocker panel covers . Just nip the rear corner and you should be golden .Yeah that goes with any lifted vehicle . Be sure to post pics ! - Mayor

Default Re: 2014 Electric Drive 14" wheel question

I am looking at a 3" lift with 12" ITP SS212 rims with 23" ITP all terrain tires. other than trimming the rocker panels a bit, will I have any other problems? or should I go with 22"
Thanks
