Default Allsports long travel

I would like honest opinions from members that actually own & use the Allsports long travel for 2001 1/2-up (axle mounted steering rack) Ezgo.I have already bought one and it is to be delivered tommorrow,I just wanted some user input.I do know that Allsports is still 100% made in the USA which was a BIG factor in choosing it over either of the other two major brands.

If your steering is binding, you have to grind down the knuckles on the u-joints. Other than that, good to go.

By the way, I have not compared my lift to any others, like Jake's, so I don;t have any idea what lift is the better quality. But I have had a drop axle lift on my old electric cart and this Long Travel is hands down a better way to go.

Yea,I bought and installed the Ezgo 4" factory lift kit (front & rear) on mine about 3 months ago but now have decided on a long travel upgrade;I wish I had decided to do it before I spent over $400 on the Ezgo kit but I'll make somebody a good deal on it after I get the Allsports installed.I have seen a strech plastics kit and was not impressed with the overall quality or that it was made in China but have not seen a Jake's kit in person so I can't comment on it either.All of of this is my opinion and I'm sure there are other opinions out there as well.Thanks again for your reply.

Are they manufactured in China? The web site says they have a manufacturing facility here in California.

If your kit has the same quality I found in my Jakes long travel kit, you will be pleased. On the Jakes kit I found fit, finish, and construction to be top quality.

All I can say is the box has big red letters that say MADE IN CHINA on it,maybe just the box is made in China and the lifts are made in Cali.(?)

The Strech kit is made in China - but I can tell you this - In the 6 years of using this kit, I have NEVER had one issue with them.

I'm NOT happy with the quality of Chrome on them, but I pretty much only order the Black powder coat units. FYI - we've got them on sale right now...
