For the DCS cart assuming the conversion you are asking about is 36 to 48 volts. The DCS cart will need a new 48v motor or a TXT48 take-off motor.
Most likely your controller is 48v compatible, check the label. And check the solenoid is rated for 48v also. Then you need 6/8v batteries, longer battery to battery cables, and a 48v charger.
As for lithium conversion you are on the right track. Be aware of capacity and discharge limits. 300 amps peak is enough for off road use. Be aware that the conversion will reduce the cart weight by about 1/3rd. While this is great for speed and distance it is not so great for traction as weight = traction. This may adversely effect the off road performance. I experience this but I do not hear much discussion about it.
