4" spindle golf cart lift
If I get a 4-inch lift. I am concerned that I might not be able to get in and out of tunnels going to and from gold courses.
I discovered in the last week that Manufactures supply chains are severely disrupted due to Covid-19. My low-profile tires 175/50/13 are NOT standard. Some dealers and manufactures are telling me that these tires might not be available until next year. I can't wait that long. I am hearing that it is not just non-standard parts that are back-ordered but products, in general, are in SHORT SUPPLY. I am damned if I do a lift and damned if I don't. I am thinking that if I get a lift I can put monster tires ( that are available) on the cart and pick up 1 to 2 miles more speed and have a decent set of tires. Any comment or ideas would be appreciated? |

IMHO, golf carts tend to be slightly unstable in turns (high center of gravity), and you are going to make this much worse by increasing the speed and increasing the height, I hope at least you have and use seat belts.

Jack it up and use standard 8” golf cart tires. LOL. You would have high low rider . I don’t get the fascination of lifting golf cart in the villages?

Does not seem to be a good idea. Good way to upset the cart.

I come close to hitting the tunnels without a lift, can’t imagine going through some tunnels if the cart was lifted.

Don't go to the north tunnels.

On Amazon, you can get new wheels and tires that do not require a lift kit. I just got 14" rims with low profile tires and a lift kit wasn't required. If the reason you want to go with larger wheels is to add a couple more mph, it doesn't seem like a good idea to me. Point here is, there ARE new wheels and tires available right now on Amazon.
