What’s more awesome than having your own golf cart?
Installing a golf cart lift kit, that’s what!
Some courses around the world are home to extreme terrain and there’s not much more embarrassing than driving straight into a ditch simply because your golf buggy clearance is too low. Putting bigger tyres on your cart with the help of a lift kit turns your club car into an all terrain vehicle capable of salvaging your wayward golf balls from the toughest rough.
Some lift kits can lift your cart about 8 inches! That’s a lot of extra clearance!
That’s where a lift kit for your golf cart comes in handy. Once you’ve learnt a bit about how the kits work and how to install them by reading through this site, we have provided some links for more information & places to purchase your very own lift kit.

When your new lift kit is installed properly and you have tested it, go to your golf club and be prepared to be the centre of attention.
Everybody will want to be your friend – guaranteed.
The extra wheel height will give you a feeling of superiority as you travel around the course too, even if you can’t play golf to save yourself (trust me on that
).
