I am not interested in spending hours maintaining my cart.

If I used the 'gas and go' it was in jest; I hope it came across that way.
These are 10 inch wheels with 205-65-10 tires. This setup will fit the DS on the rear with no adjustments. Many people do just the rear to gain about 10% speed. There must be a loss of tourque, but I cannot tell.
I went with front and back because I liked the look. I used a three inch spindle lift kit from Jake's ($300) and I got the wheels/tires from Golf Cart Guy on 441 ($400).
I documented how I added 2 batteries. The thread is long but a couple of posts show the basic design:
My experience converting a cart from 6-8 to 8-6 volt batteries
My Dad and his friend just added two batteries to their DS carts. They used a different option and it came out great. I will see if I can find some pictured if you are interested. I had planned to create a thread showing the design, but life gets in the way
We are about to get a pretty good thunderstorm (severe) where I am in MA, so I will leave you with that long and boring thread and come back later.
