Description
Modern Suspension Technology for Classic Yamaha G-Series Golf Carts
Jake’s Long Travel Suspension Kit is engineered specifically for 1993-2004 Yamaha G8, G14, G16, G19, and G20 golf carts, providing a complete suspension transformation rather than simply adding lift. By replacing the factory front suspension with a true independent front suspension system, this premium upgrade delivers dramatically improved ride quality, greater wheel articulation, increased stability, and superior handling on virtually any terrain.
The updated external reservoir shocks feature increased oil capacity for improved cooling, allowing them to operate at lower temperatures while reducing shock fade during long rides. Nitrogen gas charging minimizes hydraulic fluid aeration, while fully adjustable compression and rebound settings allow you to tune the suspension for neighborhood cruising, campground adventures, hunting property, or rugged trail riding.
Built from fortified aluminum and proudly manufactured in the USA, Jake’s Long Travel Suspension Kit combines lightweight construction with premium engineering for years of dependable performance.
