Yamaha Drive2 Electric 6″ A-Arm Lift Kit for Independent Rear Suspension
Build a taller, more capable Yamaha golf cart with the SGC® LKYM10 Yamaha Drive2 6″ A-Arm Lift Kit. Designed specifically for 2017-up electric Yamaha Drive2 carts equipped with independent rear suspension, this model-specific lift kit adds six inches of height and creates room for tires up to 23 inches tall when paired with properly offset wheels.
The LKYM10 replaces the stock front axle with a heavy-duty A-arm suspension design featuring suspension shocks. Application-specific rear lift components accommodate the Drive2’s independent rear suspension, helping establish a balanced lifted stance from front to rear.
Electric Drive2 With Independent Rear Suspension Only
This lift kit has a very specific application. It fits:
- Yamaha Drive2 golf carts
- 2017 and newer models
- Electric powertrains only
- Carts equipped with independent rear suspension
The LKYM10 does not fit gas Drive2 carts or electric models with a solid rear axle. Verify your cart’s powertrain and rear suspension configuration before ordering.
An independent rear suspension cart will have suspension components that allow the rear wheels to move independently rather than a single solid axle connecting both wheels.
Heavy-Duty A-Arm Suspension Design
The LKYM10 replaces the original front axle with a heavy-duty A-arm design. Its suspension-shock configuration supports the lifted front-end geometry while giving the cart a substantial, upgraded appearance.
The lift components are manufactured from high-strength steel and protected by a black powder-coated finish. This finish helps guard the steel against corrosion, scratches, and ordinary wear.
Quality high-strength installation hardware is included for a secure, model-specific installation.
Clearance for Tires Up to 23 Inches
With six inches of added lift, the LKYM10 accommodates tires measuring up to 23 inches tall when used with properly offset wheels.
Actual tire clearance can vary based on:
- Wheel width and offset
- Tire brand and tread design
- Suspension condition
- Passenger and cargo weight
- Rear-seat or cargo-bed installations
- Other accessories installed on the cart
Offset wheels are required for maximum tire clearance. Check the tires for contact with the body, steering, and suspension throughout the complete turning range before operating the cart.
Consider the Cart’s Added Weight
Steeleng recommends upgraded heavy-duty rear suspension springs when the cart carries substantial rear weight, particularly when running 23-inch tires. Rear seats, additional passengers, cargo, utility equipment, and other accessories can compress the suspension and reduce available tire clearance.
Upgraded rear springs are not identified as included with the LKYM10 and may need to be purchased separately.
Bolt-On Yamaha Drive2 Lift Kit
The LKYM10 features a bolt-on design, with no modification normally required. Step-by-step installation instructions are included, and Steeleng estimates approximately one to three hours for installation.
Actual installation time will depend on the installer’s experience, available tools, and the condition of the cart. Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with golf cart steering and suspension work.
After installation, verify steering operation, inspect tire clearance, and complete a front-end alignment. All installation hardware should be inspected before driving and rechecked after the initial break-in period.
