A golf cart lift kit is a set of parts/pieces that you install on your golf cart that gives you an additional 3”, 4”, 5” or 6” of height. Lot’s of folks install golf cart lift kits because it allows for higher clearance while driving over more rugged terrain such as brush, rocks, water, etc. Basically, you don’t dirty up the golf cart as easily (unless you want to). Also, a lift kit allows you to add larger golf cart tires. Aside from the applicability of being able to maneuver around rougher terrain, just like a full size lifted truck or lifted SUV, it gives a great look to a golf cart that a lot of golf cart owners really like.
