Choosing the Right Golf Cart Lift Kit: Why Steeleng Is a Top Choice

Golf carts are no longer just for fairways. Today, they’re used in neighborhoods, on farms, at resorts, and even as street-legal Low Speed Vehicles (LSVs). With this expanded role, more owners are customizing their carts for performance, safety, and style. One of the most popular upgrades? Installing a golf cart lift kit.

A lift kit raises the suspension of your cart, adding ground clearance, allowing for bigger wheels and tires, and giving your ride a rugged, custom look. Whether you own a Club Car Precedent, Tempo, or DS, or another brand like E-Z-GO or Yamaha, the right lift kit can completely transform your golf cart.

In this post, we’ll dive into the essentials of lift kits, their benefits, and why the Steeleng (SEI) brand is a smart choice. We’ll also compare a few other reputable brands to help you make an informed decision.

What Is a Golf Cart Lift Kit?

A lift kit is a system of components designed to raise the body of your golf cart higher above the ground. Lift kits typically range between 3” to 6” of added height, depending on the style you choose. This additional clearance allows for larger tires and improved performance on different types of terrain.

Types of Lift Kits

  1. Spindle Lift Kits

  2. A-Arm Lift Kits

    • Rugged and reliable but not as smooth as A-arm kits.

    • Popular for durability-focused upgrades.

  4. Block Lift Kits

    • Budget option using spacers.

    • Quick to install but not recommended for heavy-duty use.
