Neighbors had one and removed it. Too unstable especially around corners. Don’t buy it.

I wish they made lift kits for humans….

The price is quite a bit less than that.. but it is from a friends son and it is located in Alabama but I have a friend that can trailer it down to me. This is a sellers market for sure and prices are high. I have found in my looking that outside of the Villages they are cheaper and outside of Florida even cheaper.

Thanks for the advice everyone

Thanks in advance.

i lift carts and sell them and i shy away from lifting yamahas because they are light in the front end and have independent suspension so when you put someone on the rear seat it takes the weight off of the steering, if you don't have a rear seat it would be ok but at high speed the yamahas can be unstable with a lift

I am actually answering your question directly and not giving an uneducated reply. I've never come close to hitting a tunnel roof (north of 466) and have managed not to tip over in 7 years.

Ok, but what is the purpose, or benefit of the lift kit? Just asking.

Some Northern tunnels have lower clearances compared to the newer ones being constructed in the southern area.

Buy a helmet, and duck when going through tunnels.

If you want the cart, please remove the lift kit. Too top heavy.

hi,
whatever you decide, remember, the seats are very very important. Make sure you have el Tigre seats or have installed, comes with purchase price. about 1,700.00 for 2. Your back and butt will thank you! Check them out online, the cart will become your new car, and your car will become your 2nd vehicle.

Haha!! Indeed...When I bought my cart (Yamaha Quiet-Tech) 3 years ago, I actually bought it before we decided to buy a home. I was a confirmed renter. I love the cart, but wish I'd bought the good seats. I did not appreciate the value of a comfy seat when driving from Poinciana to Lopez, playing 18 holes, and driving home. My friends have the nice seats. I'm not sure they are El Tigre, but when I sit in those seats, my butt goes "ahh"...I'll get them replaced some day.

If you are planning on playing much golf, don't get a lifted cart. It may not seem like it but getting in and out of a lifted cart 60 times during a round is not fun.
