Ignore all these people and their fancy tools. Not all of us have the means to hire someone to do jobs like this and we don’t have the means for that fancy smancy stuff. You did a great job! My kind of mechanicing. Video was very helpful.
Happy that this video came across my feed. You phenomenal job with description and explaining along the way of the process. You helped me decide on the kit i am going to get. You have a new subscriber and keep making the videos. Thank you for making this video.
Excellent job and please post more projects that have your interest because many others share the same interest... You did more than lift your cart, you lifted the confidence for others to lift their cart too. That's a three point fact. Best of luck. Brian
Thanks for the video! With the help of my brother-in-law, this 67 year old man just installed a 6” lift just like the one you installed. Great tip about the leaf springs on the rear. Only took us 3.5 hours. Very good information!!
The shocks look good - possibly replaced in the past. The bushings are pretty much gone. I have new ones and will hopefully get around to installing them soon with a video to follow. Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much brother. I got the front done last week thanks to you. Just revisited now because I'm about to go do the rear. You have saved me a lot of time and probably money.
Awesome video…you go straight for the meat of the job. I feel confident doing my 2006 TXTE now. Thanks for the help! Looking forward to seeing the big tires on yours.
Interesting to watch this. Makes me happy I own a Yamaha with independent (shock absorbed) front suspension and rack and pinion steering. Just a much better system than the EZGO.
I think maybe they did, it's hard to remember. I might have put a washer on each stud behind the wheel to act as mini spacers. Otherwise you can get a full set of 2" spacers on amazon that would definitely prevent rubbing and look good too!
I work with computers and have little experience working on things like this. I was wondering if any type of grease should be going on to these bolts when reinstalling and also would it make sense to replace those small rubber bushings since you already have everything off?
I put grease on the bolts that were used with bushings and would move, but not on anything else that was just part of assembly. The bushings can be a pain to replace, but yes, it may have been easier to just go ahead and do it while I had it somewhat taken apart. Recently, I’ve discovered it is easiest to replace all the bushings front and back when the cart is flipped on its side
I went with these. Can’t beat them for the price. www.ebay.com/itm/274976616865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=MyKyKUwQQuu&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=KVfEPb4LQhK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
We have a few sets and have been happy with them so far. They’ve held up great so far and I like how they look. Definitely what I will keep using if I lift more carts. Great deal for sure
Well done! I'm new to golf carts and wanted to commend you on an excellent how-to video. As well would like to ask about the cart in the video. Is that engine/drivetrain setup factory or something you installed? I'm currently working on installation of a gas engine setup, replacing the factory electric setup on a late 90's model EZGO and if you could do a walk through of yours, that'd be great. New subscriber, keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! I sold the cart so I can’t take a walk around video unfortunately but I remember just about everything I did to it. It was originally electric and I converted it to gas using a Duromax engine and a torque converter kit with a much larger sprocket than what comes with the kit. I used a 40 chain with a chain tensioner made by monster craftsman. At the time those could be bought on eBay. I used the old electric motor but cut off the armature and had just the shaft with a sprocket welded to the shaft for the chain. That was probably the hardest part other than getting everything lined up perfectly. Let me know any other questions!
This is the kit I bought for 1994.5-2001.5 ezgo txt carts www.ebay.com/itm/322660473082?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rw3dYNkSSZq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=KVfEPb4LQhK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
Great video. Just ordered this kit today. Question: you flipped the U bolts over when you installed the lifting blocks. Did the instructions say to do that? Or is that something you recommend?
Thanks! It’s come down by $20 on eBay. I can’t believe how cheap it’s gotten www.ebay.com/itm/322660473082?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=rw3dYNkSSZq&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=KVfEPb4LQhK&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY a.co/d/fV3FtkO
@@btsue5606 Yes, it was an electric frame. I did convert it to a gas cart but didn't modify the frame any so I used a kit for an electric cart. Not sure what the difference is if there is any but none of the listings say gas AND electric.
Hmm. I would probably start by making sure your tires aren’t overinflated. That can make a really bumpy ride. Sometimes on a lifted cart I’ll leave the tires a little low purposely for a better ride. If that doesn’t help, maybe your shocks are worn out?
@@TimothysTractors yes I drive w them low already....doesn't help. Cart has little hours on it so wouldn't suspect bad shocks but will have to test them I guess. Thx
@@TimothysTractors thanks. Not too bad. Great video. Thank you. I’ll be watching and rewinding through it when I work on the cart this weekend. Merry Christmas
Good job overall but please use a torque wrench with the suspension bolts and not rely on a small impact and by all means,,,Lose the vise grips 😂. All of those steering and suspension bolts have a specified torque rating in the tech manual.
This video helped out more than any other video I found! Very helpful! Thank you!
Thanks so much!

Thanks a lot Brian, and thank you for watching my channel!

Good job! Very simple and the camera was always on the job, without music or excessive talking. I enjoyed it!!
Only thing I would add is, since you already have it apart replace the bushings and shocks depending on age! Great video
The shocks look good - possibly replaced in the past. The bushings are pretty much gone. I have new ones and will hopefully get around to installing them soon with a video to follow. Thanks for watching!
You make the best videos bud. THANK YOU.
Great video, showed everything I needed to see!
Thank you. Hard to find honest fixes! Feeling more prepared!
I'm just about to put on this same kit! Great video man was very helpful 👍
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much brother. I got the front done last week thanks to you. Just revisited now because I'm about to go do the rear. You have saved me a lot of time and probably money.
Thanks man! Glad I could help!
Great job young man. Helped me out.
Great job! Definitely feel prepared to go do my lift on my ezgo tomorrow
Thanks! Let me know how it goes

I don’t have any updated videos with the large tires but you can see them briefly in this video

Damn fine video, made all the difference. Keep em coming!
Great video, mate. Really enjoying your content 👍🏻
Thanks! That means a lot!
Hey, great videos, you do a fantastic job my friend. Keep up the great work.
Where are you from the weather there looks beautiful?
I want more golf cart videos!!!! There very helpful and I enjoy them!!

Very good video
Very informative, good tips to know before getting started on mine. Will save me some frustration

Thanks! I try to post videos on golf carts and tractors whenever I can. If you subscribe you should be notified when I upload. Thanks for watching!
I put the same lift kit on mine when you put your front tires on did they rub against the new mounts for the tie rods?
I think maybe they did, it's hard to remember. I might have put a washer on each stud behind the wheel to act as mini spacers. Otherwise you can get a full set of 2" spacers on amazon that would definitely prevent rubbing and look good too!
Great instructional video and not a step missing. 👍👍
Thanks a lot!

What size wheels did you go with on this 6" lift kit? TIA

This is the kit I bought for 1994.5-2001.5 ezgo txt carts

I love it thanks willbe doing same things
Any chance you have the kit you ordered information
Yes, here is the exact kit I installed only it's gotten cheaper in price!

How do you like the kit overall
What year is this cart? Thanks!
I believe 1994
Great video. Just ordered this kit today. Question: you flipped the U bolts over when you installed the lifting blocks. Did the instructions say to do that? Or is that something you recommend?
Thanks! I think I just did that to make it easier to tighten the nuts since they'd be easier to get to on the top.
@@TimothysTractors makes sense. Thank you.
Great job on the video. Do you have a link to the kit you purchased from Amazon?

Is this an electric cart you’re lifting? I have a gas cart and wondered if this kit will work for me. Informative video
@@btsue5606 Yes, it was an electric frame. I did convert it to a gas cart but didn't modify the frame any so I used a kit for an electric cart. Not sure what the difference is if there is any but none of the listings say gas AND electric.
I have a Jake's on my ez go....ots horrible. Such a bumpy ride. How do you soften up the suspension on one of these dogs?
Hmm. I would probably start by making sure your tires aren’t overinflated. That can make a really bumpy ride. Sometimes on a lifted cart I’ll leave the tires a little low purposely for a better ride. If that doesn’t help, maybe your shocks are worn out?
@@TimothysTractors yes I drive w them low already....doesn't help. Cart has little hours on it so wouldn't suspect bad shocks but will have to test them I guess. Thx
That’s strange. Haven’t had that issue before. Let me know what you figure out!
Awesome. Thanks for the video!!!
What year is this?
Pretty sure it’s a 1994
how long did the lift take completely?
The whole thing would probably take around 3 hours straight through
How long did this take
A couple hours maybe 2-3 if it’s your first time. It took me a little longer than necessary since I was recording as well.
@@TimothysTractors thanks. Not too bad. Great video. Thank you. I’ll be watching and rewinding through it when I work on the cart this weekend. Merry Christmas
