Default Lifted Cart - Oil Quanity

I have read many posts about not filling the oil to the top line on your dipstick if you have your cart lifted. I am new to this game but as a mechanic I have an issue with this advice. The lift I have on my 2003 seems to have the cart still dead level as it was before the lift. How does this possibly change the oil fill requirements. If you look at a range of pictures of lifted EZGO's it seems that only a few are set with the rearend higher then the front. To advise someone to run their buggie as low as the lower line on the dipstick or even less seems absurd. Please explain what I am missing because I must be blind. I have included two pictures where the white cart seems slightly nose heavy but the black cart which is what I would call level is what my cart would be at. I just don't seem to see where a general statement that all lifted carts need to run a lower level of oil unless there is something else I do not understand.

It's not how level the cart is, it's how when you lift one the motor is on more of an angle instead of level, so if you fill it till the full line it's actually over full.

The front of the engine is on a hinge like motor mount the back of the engine is pushed downwards at an angle. Fill same quantity of oil as you were doing before the lift.
