G29 - Lift or not?
I have a 2011 G29 that I use around lakehouse mainly for transport of people and gear to dock. The trip is up and down an dirt path on an hill that rises about 70 feet in 100 yards. Cart is stock except for rear flip seat and rear HD springs and mild threaded tires. I do cross the yard often so need to be cautious of damage to grass. Performance has met expectations on the hill but front end will get light if 4 people on board. A few times it I have gotten stuck it has been because of ground clearance.
Thinking about options to improve the clearance issue and soft suspension. A minimum lift kit and wheels is one option. The other option is finding a larger and tire that would fit the stock cart. As a "x large" guy that walks with a cane the cart is important to me getting around. But I am concerned that a lift will change the CG causing cart to tip over. What do you guys recommend? |

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
I had a 2" factory Yamaha lift put on mine that I just ordered. I didn't want a lot of height and wanted to run 14" wheels and tires (street). I am very happy with it.

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
Per Bean3673, I agree. the factory Yamaha 2" lift kit will get you 21.5" tires and is extremely well made and easy to install. Part number from Yamaha is GCA-JC150-00-00 for the YDR 2-inch Lift Kit

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
I purchased a 2" Yamaha lift for my 2013 and was wondering if there are any pointers to the installation?
Thanks |

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
Yes, 2" lift with 20" low profile tires. The picture shows it without the lift. I put the heavy duty springs hoping I wouldn't need a lift, but don't want the rear to rub.

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
Well I got the rear lift installed last night. Pretty straight forward. The rear install is almost the same as the 3" Jake's lift. Here are a couple pics of the rear installed.

Re: G29 - Lift or not?
Finished with the lift. Pretty straight forward. The only issue was with the pictures on the instructions, but easy enough to figure out. I like the looks of the 2". not too high.
