Axle lift vs. Spindle lift- Pros and Cons
I'm a bit confused.. What's the difference between the two types of lifts, Axle and Spindle?
Cart's a ez-go 2002...... I know that the Spindle Lift is probably easier to install but what are the Pros and Cons other than that? Aesthetics, functionality, interference with certain wheels, steering, etc?...... I noticed the caveat in one of the ads for the 6" spindle lift that says that you "must use 10 or 12 inch wheels" but it doesn't say why. Interference with 8"? Thanks |

I'm not an ez go guy but I would say the drop axle lift is stronger than a spindle lift. As far as rims, yes some lifts will have interference issues with the 8" rims.

The larger diameter rim will give the room needed for the tie rod ends.

Well, Dick, I for one, just found this thread. Sorry I wasn't sitting here waiting for your Q this AM....... and I was about to give you all I have learned from doing both of the types of lifts you were asking about when I came across this crap posting calling all of us stupid. So now I'm not telling you anything You can just go buy 3 of each and learn for yourself As far as I am concerned no one should answer your question after that insult who is the dumbass now? P.S. Only a funking engineer would say that .... we had one other on here we had to run him off for a bad attitude also.... |

Re: Axle lift vs. Spindle lift- Pros and Cons
Well if you were smart enough to run a search on the subject you would have found that this is not the first time someone has asked this. Noobs ask about this all the time, I for one don't feel like repeating myself over and over because someones to lazy to use the search feature on the site.

Re: Axle lift vs. Spindle lift- Pros and Cons
I thought this was pretty civil considering your snide comments about people not being smart enough. Your certainly no engineer if you can't figure this out or even how to use a search function unless you hold some bs title like waste disposal engineer. I wasn't calling you a a richard head or an f'in moron, I don't even know for sure your a worthless lazyazz who can't even be bothered to type in a few words on the search engine. but if it smells like a rose. and of course searching on the words "lift kit" isn't going to retrieve the response you want, it's not what you were asking.
