Description
6″ Spindle Lift Kit for Club Car DS
Give your Club Car DS the clearance needed for larger tires with the SGC LKDS20 6″ Spindle Lift Kit. Designed for 2004.5-up gas and electric DS models with plastic front hub covers, this complete system includes the components needed to lift both the front and rear of the cart.
The bolt-on spindle design provides approximately 6″ of lift without requiring additional lift components or permanent modification under normal installation conditions. When paired with properly offset wheels, the kit accommodates tires up to 23″ tall.
Compatibility
- Club Car DS
- Model years 2004.5-up
- Gas and electric models
- Designed for carts with plastic front hub covers
Important fitment note: Verify the front hub-cover style before ordering. The LKDS20 is designed for Club Car DS models equipped with plastic front hub covers. It is not intended for earlier configurations with steel or metal hub covers.
Spindle Lift Design
The LKDS20 uses a spindle-style front lift system to provide approximately 6″ of additional ride height. It offers an alternative to a double A-arm lift for owners who prefer a spindle-based suspension configuration.
Rear lift components are included to raise the back of the cart and complete the installation.
Wheel and Tire Fitment
This lift kit accommodates tires up to 23″ tall when used with offset wheels.
Offset wheels are required with this lift kit. Actual clearance may vary depending on wheel width, wheel offset, tire profile, tread design, suspension condition, and installed accessories.
Bolt-On Installation
The LKDS20 is designed for bolt-on installation without cutting, welding, or additional lift components under normal conditions. Class 8.8 high-strength alloy mounting hardware is included.
Because installation changes the cart’s suspension geometry, the front wheels must be properly aligned after installation. Verify clearance through the full steering range and recheck all mounting hardware before operating the cart.
