Golf Cart Lift Kit Installation Instructions

Most golf carts are made with standard or stock lift, unless cruising around the golf course is not only what the golf cart was purchased to do. If your golf cart is taken off road for hunting or other outdoor activities, you may need to make some adjustments to it. Lift kits for golf carts are designed to give the cart more space between the ground and its undercarriage. Many different kinds of lift kits are available for golf carts. Refer to the user manual of your golf cart and lift kit for precise instructions.
