Planning a lift and tires

[dankent]

I have just got a 2003 Ezgo TXT with PDS

I am looking at adding:
Rhox 6" Lift kit for EZGO TXT 2001,5+
and
12" Vampire Machined/Black
22x10-12 offroad type tires

Just want to know if this combo would fit ok or should there be anything i should worry about.

Thanks,

Should fit no problem. My neighbor is running 23's on 14" wheels with a 5" lift. 22's may look a little smaller with a 6" lift.

Should fit fine but remember if it is a stock PDS that controller is not going to be happy with those 22 inch tires for a long time. Plan on that upgrade

Thanks for the input. I will do some reading on a controller

They are 23's actually i made a type error. 23x10.5-12

Just curious why your looking at the Rhox lift kit? I too am putting together a build list for a lifted TXT PDS. I was leaning towards a EZGO premium 4" kit, because I have heard that they are better (not sure exactly why just someone's opinion), and that the EZGO 4" lift is comparable to other brands 5" or 6" kit.. I think the Madjax, Rhox or EZGO lift kits would be the top choices, maybe Jakes too. Just curious.

Will look awesome. I also have a 2003 pds that's tore down to the frame right now. About to start building it back and will be installing lift with 23" tires on 14" itp rims. Post up pics after you install.

To be honest ... i had a choice of the RHOX , MadJax and the Jake's .. I didn't much care, as i have heard people recommend all three ... The price more for the Jake's then the RHOX, but i may change to the Jakes as i hear good things about the quality ... but i don't know if there is much difference for riding around the campground and light offroading.

If you use the Jake's kit and use their spindles you will find that the front end of the cart will "jump" or "bounce" from dead stop acceleration. I have specifically avoided Jake's kits for that reason. I have the Steeleng kit on mine with stock spindles and it clears 14" wheels with 23" tires with no rubbing or touching.
