Product Information

The MadJax King XD Lift Kit (Part #16-057) is a rear lift kit designed for use with Yamaha Drive and Drive2 golf carts with a  solid rear axle. This lift kit is intended to increase ground  clearance and allow for the installation of larger tires, enhancing the appearance and off-road capabilities of the golf cart. Professional installation is recommended for this lift kit to ensure proper installation and alignment of the front wheels. The lift kit comes with a track bar relocation bracket, rear shock goalpost, and all necessary hardware for installation.

It is important to note that this lift kit is specifically designed for use on Yamaha Drive G29 & Yamaha Drive2 golf carts. Using it on other carts may result in compatibility and performance issues.
