Question about 4" lift with regular tires

rwt101 · 06-01-2013, 10:09 AM

Like a lot of people I don't have enough cash to do a lift and to get new tires and wheels. It I were to do a4" budget lift and ad braces to the front plates, can I still run the stock 8" inch tires and stock wheels safely? It is a street legal cart.
Also does anyone have any pics of a setup like that.

Thanks

Yes,You can run the stock wheels on some lifts.Some lifts require larger rims due to the steering-arms rubbing.Also,on some carts the tires themselves will rub when you go to larger tires,thats why they require larger or offset wheels.As an example,my Lift-Kits will let you run stock wheels and tires,but once you get larger tires,you will need the offset or they will rub.You can stay with an 8"-diameter,but it must be offset.I'm not pitching a sale,just an example from my personal-experience.Hope this helps.

I ran mine like that for a couple weeks until I got the tires.
These two pics are of the same cart before and after tires installed. It is lifted 4" in both pics.

I saw that you had a 3" lift. Can you tell me what the price would be shipped to 37863?
