I install a Jake's 6" lift kit on my 2001 Club Car DS golf cart along with larger tires and stiffer rear springs. Because my cart was missing the upper rear bushings, I also install a set of them.
I had over 3 hours of raw video that I edited down to this video. One of my biggest video projects ever.
2020 UPDATE: The 6" lift has really grown on me and learning to handle it around corners was a breeze once I got used to it. Wishing I had replaced front springs plus front and rear shocks while I had this all apart.
