❓ Common Questions

Do I need professional installation?
Not necessarily. If you're comfortable working on suspension components and have basic tools, this is a manageable DIY project. However, professional installation ensures proper alignment and safety.

Will this void my cart warranty?
Modifications may affect your manufacturer's warranty. Check with your dealer if your cart is still under warranty.

What else do I need?
You'll need larger wheels and tires to take advantage of the lift. Many customers also add extended top struts for rear seat clearance and heavy-duty springs for better load capacity. Check if you need the longer tie rod (Part #95540).

How does a 5" axle lift compare to a 3" spindle lift?
A 5" axle lift provides significantly more ground clearance (fits up to 25" tires vs 22" tires) and is ideal for serious off-road use. A 3" spindle lift is better for mild trail use and neighborhood cruising.

Will this affect my gas cart's performance?
Larger tires may slightly increase top speed but improve traction and ground clearance. Most gas cart owners report minimal impact with proper tire selection and gearing.
