8″ AllSports Long Travel Lift Kit for EZGO TXT
Build a seriously capable 1994-present EZGO TXT with the AllSports 8″ Long Travel Lift Kit.
This premium suspension system combines a dramatic 8 inches of lift height with over 8 inches of suspension travel, providing substantially more ground clearance while allowing the suspension to move through a much greater range than the factory TXT setup.
Unlike a conventional lift kit designed primarily to make the cart taller, long travel is built around actual suspension performance. True independent A-arms, adjustable shocks, heavy-duty ball joints, upgraded steering components, alignment adjustability, and underbody protection make this a complete suspension system for demanding recreational, hunting, utility, and trail-oriented TXT builds.
Because EZGO changed both suspension and powertrain configurations during TXT production, this listing includes four specific variations.
Choose the Correct TXT Configuration
Why the Variation Matters
Both model year and powertrain type matter when selecting this lift.
Before ordering, determine:
- Whether your TXT is gas or electric
- Whether it falls into the 1994-2000 or 2001-Present suspension group
The suspension and mounting components vary between these configurations, so selecting the correct option is essential for proper installation.
Why Choose an 8″ Long Travel Lift?
An 8″ long travel system sits at the extreme end of golf cart suspension upgrades.
It is designed for customers who want:
- Maximum suspension lift height
- Serious ground clearance
- Increased suspension articulation
- Greater terrain capability
- A dramatically taller stance
- Additional wheel and tire clearance
- Improved suspension performance
- A premium foundation for demanding builds
If your primary goal is simply fitting a slightly larger street tire, a smaller conventional lift may be a better choice.
If you’re building a hunting cart, trail cart, utility vehicle, or high-clearance recreational TXT, the 8″ long travel system provides a much more substantial suspension platform.
Long Travel vs. a Conventional Lift Kit
A conventional lift primarily increases ride height.
A long travel suspension increases both height and usable suspension movement.
The AllSports system provides over 8 inches of suspension travel, allowing the wheels to move farther as the cart encounters bumps, ruts, dips, and uneven terrain.
Benefits can include:
- Better bump absorption
- Increased wheel articulation
- Improved tire contact over uneven surfaces
- More controlled suspension movement
- Better ride quality
- Greater capability on rough terrain
This increased suspension movement is what separates long travel from a standard spindle, drop-axle, or basic A-arm lift.
Over 8 Inches of Suspension Travel
The system provides more than 8 inches of usable suspension travel.
That gives the TXT suspension significantly more range to respond as terrain changes beneath the cart.
The additional movement is particularly useful for:
- Trails
- Hunting property
- Campgrounds
- Gravel roads
- Farms and acreage
- Rural properties
- Rough access roads
- Utility environments
- Recreational riding areas
Rather than forcing the chassis to absorb every change in terrain, the suspension has considerably more room to work.
True Independent A-Arm Suspension
The front suspension uses a true independent A-arm design.
Each front wheel can respond independently to the terrain beneath it, allowing the suspension to articulate more effectively across uneven surfaces.
Benefits include:
- Increased wheel movement
- Improved suspension articulation
- Better front-end control
- More precise suspension geometry
- Increased durability
- Better ride characteristics
- Additional clearance for larger tires
This is a major upgrade from the factory TXT front suspension.
Fully Adjustable Shocks
The AllSports long travel system includes fully adjustable shocks.
Shock adjustment allows the suspension to be better matched to your cart’s weight, accessories, and intended use.
This is particularly valuable on carts equipped with:
- Rear seats
- Larger wheels and tires
- Lithium battery conversions
- Cargo equipment
- Hunting accessories
- Utility boxes
- Additional passenger loads
A properly adjusted suspension can provide more controlled performance across a wider range of driving conditions.
Heavy-Duty 5/8″ Teflon-Lined Ball Joints
Long travel places greater demands on front-end components because of the increased suspension movement.
This system uses rugged 5/8″ Teflon-lined ball joints built for heavy-duty suspension applications.
Benefits include:
- Durable construction
- Reduced friction
- Support for increased suspension travel
- Added strength for larger tires
- Better suitability for recreational use
- Increased durability on demanding builds
These upgraded components are another important distinction between this premium suspension and an economy lift kit.
Fully Adjustable Toe & Camber
An 8″ suspension lift significantly changes front-end geometry, making proper alignment essential.
The AllSports design provides fully adjustable toe and camber, allowing the front wheels to be properly positioned after installation.
Correct alignment can help improve:
- Tire wear
- Straight-line tracking
- Steering response
- Handling
- Stability
- Overall drivability
This becomes even more important when using wider aftermarket wheels and aggressive tire packages.
Steering Rack Included
The kit includes the steering rack required for the upgraded suspension configuration.
Long-travel suspension changes the position and movement of the front-end components, making proper steering geometry especially important.
Including the steering rack as part of the system provides a more complete suspension package rather than requiring separate steering components to be sourced afterward.
Skid Plate Included
Carts equipped with an 8″ long travel system are often used where underbody protection becomes increasingly important.
The included skid plate helps protect vulnerable front-end components from:
- Rocks
- Trail debris
- Small obstacles
- Uneven terrain
- Ground contact
It’s a practical addition for hunting, utility, trail, and recreational applications.
Heavy-Duty Rear Suspension Setup
The rear portion of the system uses a rugged 4 U-bolt configuration.
This creates a complete front-and-rear suspension lift rather than simply changing the front suspension.
The rear setup helps provide:
- Secure suspension mounting
- Balanced front-to-rear ride height
- Increased rear ground clearance
- Proper support for the lifted chassis
- A stable foundation for custom wheel-and-tire packages
Tight Turning Radius & Narrow Track Width
One disadvantage of some long-travel systems is excessive width.
The AllSports design emphasizes a tight turning radius and narrow track width, helping the TXT remain maneuverable despite the greatly increased suspension movement.
This is especially useful on:
- Narrow trails
- Hunting property
- Campgrounds
- Wooded areas
- Residential properties
- Utility environments
- Tight recreational spaces
You get the performance benefits of long travel without unnecessarily making the cart extremely wide.
Wheel & Tire Capability
The current published maximum fitment for this 8″ TXT long travel system is:
- Up to 23″ x 11″ tires
- Mounted on 14″ wheels
Wheel Requirements
- 10″ minimum wheel diameter
- Offset wheels required
Proper offset is important for clearance around the A-arms, steering, and other suspension components.
Actual fitment can vary depending on:
- Wheel width
- Wheel offset
- Tire manufacturer
- Actual tire dimensions
- Shock settings
- Suspension adjustment
- Passenger and cargo load
- Other aftermarket modifications
Always verify full steering, body, and suspension clearance before regular use.
Maximum Ground Clearance & Aggressive Stance
An 8″ suspension lift dramatically changes the stance and clearance of the EZGO TXT.
The added height helps improve clearance across:
- Ruts
- Grass
- Gravel
- Trail obstacles
- Uneven ground
- Rough campground roads
- Farms and acreage
- Hunting land
- Utility areas
- Rural property
The result is a tall, purpose-built appearance with significantly more suspension capability than the stock cart.
Built for Serious Recreational & Utility Use
This suspension is particularly well suited for carts intentionally being built for more demanding applications.
Ideal uses include:
- Hunting carts
- Trail carts
- Farms and acreage
- Utility vehicles
- Campground carts
- Rural properties
- Recreational builds
- Rough access roads
- Performance-oriented custom carts
For these applications, the additional suspension movement can be every bit as important as the increased ride height.
Bolt-On Installation
Despite the scale of the suspension upgrade, the AllSports system is designed around bolt-on installation.
The lift itself does not require:
- Cutting
- Welding
- Custom chassis fabrication
An 8″ long travel kit replaces and modifies considerably more steering and suspension components than a conventional golf cart lift, so professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with advanced suspension work.

The AllSports 8″ EZGO TXT Long Travel Lift Kit is 100% American made.
Its combination of true independent suspension, adjustable shocks, heavy-duty ball joints, upgraded steering, skid protection, alignment capability, and more than 8 inches of travel makes it a premium suspension system for serious TXT builds.
