Lift kits include front & rear

So can someone PM me and give me some advice on where to get this work done?

Upon a recommendation, I called Todd Casey. He came over today right on schedule and looked at the cart. He told me that the only piece of speaker wire was one wire connecting the battery gauge. The rest of the wiring looked fine. Then he opened up the tail light and found a short which he fixed in about two minutes. The brake lights and directional work fine now. He told me that the headlights are the same as they use in Par Cars. The reason they get so hot is that they are wired to two batteries which means they are running on 16 volts as opposed to twelve. He can get a reducer that will run the lights off of all six batteries while reducing the current down to twelve volts.

Then, he looked at the front end. He said that the kingpins are fine. There is some kind of u-bolt on the left side that is worn out. He can fix it for a few dollars. The wheel bearings could use a little bit of grease. He also thinks that the speedometer is not accurate and I'm probably getting a lot more miles than I think.

He's coming back on Monday to go through the entire cart and help me decide which way to go. I'm still thinking of having the lift kit done, the 10" wheels and the flip up rear seat. His lift kit is a bit more than I expected, but since I don't have to have any wiring done, I may go for the whole package anyway.

No charge for today's call.

Todd Casey showed up today on time. (Actually, he was early). He went through my entire golf cart. He installed new rear brakes, checked tire pressure which was low, tightened a bolt on a U-shaped bracket above the right king pin, checked and cleaned all the batteries, sprayed anti corrosive on the batteries, aligned the front end and waxed the plastic windshield. The cart runs great. It doesn't swerve all of the road and it goes 22 mph.

While he was here I asked him about the speedometer which has been acting up sporadically. He checked all of the wire connections and got it going. Then before he left he checked it again and it wasn't working. I asked him if he sold speedometers and he said that he had one all set to go.

$137.98 for all the work and $89.00 for the speedometer, installed.

We talked about lift kits and larger tires and he wants me to think it over and talk to people about it. He says that personally, he doesn't like them because they give you a bit less stability. But it's something that I'm still thinking about.

I do need a front tire because the right one is totally worn down due to the loose bracket. He recommended the Battery Boys for tires.

I'm trying to decide whether to go for two new front tires now or not in case I decide to go for the lift kit with the bigger wheels. I suppose I could always sell the old tires and rims (which are in great shape) on Craigslist or TOTV.

My club gas cart had problems today. Every time I take-off, I would get a whip lash. By checking TOV I called Todd Casey. Within an hour he was here. Made the repair and checked over the cart and motor. He was fair priced, fast, and courteous. Todd is now on my speed dial. Highly recommend him.
