The Jakes Spindle Lifts are really, REALLY solid, and I've never heard of one breaking (although they of course don't offer the ride of the LT kits) ... My Workhorses w Jakes lifts routinely haul trailers loaded with firewood through the access trails in the woods, large loads of Stone, Dirt, etc and I have never encountered a problem. I've read some bad stuff on the A/S kits though, same with the Rhox - so if You are going to keep the front brakes I wouldn't be afraid to use the Jake's Spindle kit one bit.

And for the record, I've never been a fan of the brakes on CC - marginal at best - so eliminating half the braking power by ditching the front ones probably isn't a sound choice. The *Best* bet would be to go Long Travel and hit up CPP for a set of rear discs, but that's not a very cheap route, it's a sizeable investment with little return financially at sale, especially if the cart is already almost 20 years old.
