Lifting a Club Car

[schletterer]

I have a 2009 gas DS Club Car. I would like to replace the 205 50 10" tires with 205 65 10" tires. The larger tires will clear the wheel wells on the rear but it seems I need to lift the front about one inch. Anyone have experience with lifting the front enough to allow room for the larger tires?

I have never lifted just the front of a cart, but....

When I put on larger tires we go one of two ways. On mine, I went with (4) 205-65-10s on my 2002 DS. I decided to lift the whole cart with a 3" lift from Jake's.

On my friends we left the smaller tires in front giving the cart a slightly "raked look".

The speed/torque considerations are the same in either configuration.

In addition to ajbrown's reply, you might check the Buggiesunlimited.com site, go to forums and then Club Car. Lots of help there.
