Shopping for a 3" - 4" lift for 2009 Fairplay.

SpoiledRotten · 04-28-2011, 11:01 AM

A good friend of mine just bought an 09 Fairplay cart. She wants to buy a short lift kit for it. I know almost nothing about a Fairplay. What lift will fit it in this height range?

I think Jakes Lifts may have them, give them a call.

Thanks Doug. I just hated to introduce my friend to the BuggiesUnlimited way of doing business.

There's not that many people that I know that make lifts for these.
True that Nivel seems to be running over the industry with both wheels, they recently bought 2 companies that make windshields and upholstery.
The only other suggestion I can think of is Allsports but they are hated on this site.
Try calling Fairplay in Grand Junction, CO and see what they recommend or maybe even your local dealer.
These import type carts are a little more difficult to source this kind of stuff for.

Nothing wrong with Allsports products, it's just the company owner some folks have a personal problem with. Let's not make this into something it isn't, Doug.

I wasn't trying to make it into something it isn't, maybe it was just a few misinformed or bitter individuals and doesn't reflect the feelings of this site.
I thought they were a sponsor here at one time, any idea why they left?

There's a time and place for this discussion, and this ain't either.

"He" wanted about a 3 to 4 inch lift. I found a 3" Jakes lift and gave that info to "her". She ordered it. She wanted it for their anniversary so she was in a bit of a hurry to get it. They are running the 12" rims on it with low profile tires. It's a rough ride the way it is so he wanted to get some 22" tires on it to smooth out the ride on the golf course. This should give him what he wants. Still hated to turn her toward Nivel due to the double charging I heard about, but when you've got a cart that isn't one of the big 3, you have to take what you can get.
I didn't know an EZGO lift would work before she ordered the Jakes 3". Thanks for all of the responses. I hope he'll be happy with it.

Good to hear you got your Fairplay issues resolved, now you can get back to your own cart.
