Axle or Spindle lift kit?
 

Hello all,
I am looking to get a lift kit for my 2002 EZ GO TXT. I have been doing some research and I have come to find there are at least 2 options.
One is a Axle lift and the other is a Spindle lift kit. Does anyone have any comments as to which is better and why.

Thank you
Tony

Well since you asked..... spindle lifts should be reserved for tractors/riding lawn mowers, and certain types of circus vehicles like goofy clown cars.

If your going to do any offroading I would choose a drop axle over the spindle. The wheel on a stick (spindle lift) puts more stresses on steering and suspension components.
The pro to spindles lifts are they're easy to install.

what about if you want to go off roading in your goofy clown car?

He asked for comments..... I said what I think, it's only my opinion.
I can and do understand the force that is multiplied by moving the wheel to an iron rod several inches away from its point of origin. This increases the chances of a failure running offroad at speed well beyond a normal golf cart. It's almost certain if something was to happen at higher speeds there would be injury. Anything i can do to help prevent this, I will. Lots of people use spindle lifts an have no problems with them. For me, I know i'd just bend up the spindles or axle weldment along with the tie rods and be lucky not rolling my cart, if I used them. I know the spindles are well made but on the newer style steering the axle weldment is a piece of angle iron, it will bend.
I don't really think the drop axle is that great either but given a choice between the two, i'll pick the drop axle every time.
