Is Strecth Plastic LT lift a good Lift for EZ GO

hj2962 · 03-27-2011, 08:40 AM

1st off this is my 1st cart so I am learning as I go.

I Have a 94 1/2 EZ GO with the 3 bolt steering column a Jakes 6" spindle lift and heavy duty rear spring and I want to upgrade to a Long travel lift and would like to know if the stretch plastic Long Travel lift is a good lift?

1. How much does it lift your cart?
2. What is the front wheel base after the lift is installed?
3. Am I overlooking anything I may have to purchase to install to the lift?

Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Howie

Howie this lift is one of the BEST rides you will get out of a golf cart... We have 2 carts with them, both see extreme off road use. Both are in use without a problem for about 2 years. The down side to this lift is that the manufacture has stopped making them and the chrome was a little thin and they tended to rust a bit. I still suggest you grab it

Lift was about 6-8 inches? The width is very wide, maybe about 6 inches wider than stock

Well I ordered a Stretch plastic lift today from Wicked cart. I guess I will soon find out if its worth it. Wished they had other colors beside Chrome!

Are you going to pick it up at the storage unit ? Did Randy put you up to this ?

Ohhh ...., it's a long story I won't tell.
He used to be a sponsor here; enough said, period .

I have that same lift on my workhorse and love the way it smooths out the ruts and bumps. Buy a box of 3/8ths washers and put them in as spacers where the the upper and lower A arms bolt to the main frame, if needed.
Also the chrome is poor quality and will rust. If you can afford it I would send it out to re-chrome or powder coat before you put it on.... I wish I had.

I wish I new some one locally that did powder coating!
