Cut and reweld spindle to get 4" lift?

Jim C · 02-21-2009, 10:08 AM

Is not the Jakes 2" out, forward and down 6".
As long as I anticipate it I can control most of the bumpsteer. Its a pain when crawling over logs though.

I will do as serious off-roading as it is capable but it will be only to get me where I need to go. I don't run it to see how hard I can go.

[QUOTE=roady89;147664]Looks like you did a fine job. Its the same as any other spindle lift...just taken to extremes. On my Club car with Jakes spindle there is some bumpsteer entering ditches or potholes. Its fine the way it is but its not for serious off-roading, more of a RV park queen if anything.[/QUOTE]

Ha, HA... Roady's cart is a RV Park Queen

For the flat ground I guess it works. But not for me, I drive mine all over. That seams like a weak link to me. Just my 1/2 ct.
