I had an All Sports 6" spindle lift on my ezgo txt. It was ok. Steered good and rode alright. I installed a MadJax A-Arm lift on my Yamaha Drive . Really like it better. All kinds of adjustment. Looks way cooler. And for the little difference in price you virtually change out the entire front suspension. All new springs , A-Arms, spindles, shocks , polyurethane bushings etc. - really jam up kit with pretty good instructions. I installed the entire kit in just a lil over 2 hrs. -Mayor

Mayor, is that the stock "garnet" Color? It looks good with those black wheels! I will be using mine for golf, so I am thinking a 3 inch lift, 12 inch wheels and a 22 inch golf course approved tire. What do ya think! any recommendations on a tire that will meet my needs?

Yeah that is a factory color . It's a 2009 model . Never been a big garnet fan . Just pulled the body off for a color change . There are some super good deals on 12" wheels with lower profile turf friendly tires through some of the sponsors on the forum and online . I think Jake's makes a 3" lift for the drive. I think that would look pretty good. There is def advantages to the smaller lifts . Lower center of Gravity , handles better , and will fit in a enclosed trailer . That's the problem I have now . I'm gonna have to fab up some type of quick release for the top so we can load it in the enclosed trailer for car show season . - Mayor

I need turf tires and I don't want low profile. any recommendation's on that? reason I asked about the garnet color is that is what I have found to buy. probably start with that color than maybe get it painted after a while.
I will probably go with some fender flares too, I really like that look

You can get turf tires or a radial street tread in most sizes.
