The standard D5 Ranger can't make it through two tunnels as delivered. The D5 2+2 is about 2" higher, so it's a hard no on those two tunnels, and brings another two into play.

You can't stay to the center for two reasons:
1) Both of the shorter tunnels have cement dividers at the ends... so you're going to be forced to go to the side, and you will hit it -HARD.
2) Even if you could go to the center, how can you expect folks to sit back and wait for you to come through the tunnel? It's an accident waiting to happen.

If you golf, the D5 2+2 bag holder is a terrible design. Trust me, you'll hate it after one round of golf.

For the D5 Ranger, you can lower the roof by cutting down the rear struts giving you an additional 2"+ of clearance. You'll still have to be very careful with this or you'll scrape on the sides.

I did this and put 12" wheels on in place of the stock 14" wheels lowering my cart another 2.5". Now I'm about the same as a Yamaha, and never come close.
