Lifted my cart - now asking for spacer advice - 3" diff in front and back

I now run the 2in spacers, so far I haven't had any problems, I'm sure the 3in offset spacers would be fine going up and down the neighborhood roads or maybe some light gravel, but if you do any kind trail riding I recommend that you only get the 2in as your widest spacer

Pics of my cart, with sheared off lug bolts left me stranded for sure!!

I thought you hit that jump doing a wheelie and that was how it broke.. Just kidding, but yes spacers can do that as well as bend axles and wear out steering components.
