One of the most popular additions and popular trends happening to golf carts today is lifting the cart and putting on bigger tires. It may sound like a tough job and an expensive process to customize your golf cart for something that may not seem too important, but lifting is actually a simple task. We recommend that you buy a golf cart lift kit as it is the easiest and most affordable way to add larger tires to your golf car.
You need to ensure that any kit you buy is what we call "bolt on" which, as the name suggests, requires nothing more than to be bolted onto your existing buggy. Having fitted the kit and raised your cart up off the ground you can then add bigger tires. For instance, you can remove you factory fitted 16 inch tires and replace them with 22 inch tires if you choose to add a 6 inch lift kit. In passing, you will find that 22 inch tires are the most popular size for people lifting their carts today.
Standard lift kit range in height from 3 to 10 inches and are designed to raise both the front and rear of your cart equally. We recommend buying only the best quality steel lift kit you can afford and that you make your purchase from a supplier who is prepared to back the sale with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If a lift kits requires anything more than simple "bolt on" fitting, such as cutting, bending or welding, then don't touch it with a barge pole. Fitting a lift kit is designed to be simple these days. In case you do need assistance, buy your kit from a company that offers full technical support that is free for the user.
One important thing which we need to discuss in the use of offset tires. Suppliers certainly support the use of offsets. Because lift kits require tires which are significantly larger than the standard tires they need to be fitted so that they stand slightly away from the body of the cart. If this were not done then you would simply not be able to turn the wheels sufficiently. Because offset tires are also much wider than standard tires they also provide you with a wider wheelbase and greater stability.
If you are thinking about lifting your cart then another great option is a combo kit. In essence this is an "all in one" package which includes not only the lift kit but also the wheels and tires needed to go with it. Not only does this make life easier, since you do not need to purchase new wheels and tires separately, but it can also be a cheaper option.
