can you fit lifted cart in pickup between wheel wells?
I am researching lifts, and tires for my 2009 EZgo RXV electric Cart. I use my cart camping and I winch it into the bed of my 8 ft bed pickup truck. My bed is 49" between wheel wells. I guess I could go over the wheel wells if needed, but I think that would be a pain and I am trying to keep front tire total distant under 49" so it can easily get in/out of the pick up bed. My stock cart measures 44" outside to outside on the front tires. I assume I have 8" wide tires and 7" rims.
I was thinking of a 6" lift with 10 inch tires, 3 by 4 rims. If I am doing my math correct the rims will stick out 1/2 inch farther than stock and the tires 1" per side which is 3" more total, that is 47". I have heard different lifts also stick out farther than stock. How do I know how much the lift kit alone will make my cart wider? Do you think the lift will add 1 inch more per side? I use the cart at camp grounds and paved roads, I dont need anything for offroad. Thanks Kevin |

I don't know the brand of lift on mine but it fits in a full size bed fine.
My rear grab handles base drags when loading even with my long ramps, 7' iirc. |

Thanks for the link, I like those bars to help support tailgate. I have been using just the cables which hold but I would rather have solid bars.

Problem with those bars, they hook onto the latching mechanism. On my truck that is plastic, IIRC. Seems like a disaster waiting to happen. Good idea if they connected some other way.

Plastic? Are you sure? I've never seen a pickup with plastic holding the cables. What kind of truck is this?

I then upgraded to the All Sports Long Travel, which further pushed my front WB out to 50.5" |
