Hardcore Parts 6" Drop Axle Lift Kit for EZGO TXT/PDS (2001.5-2008) Gas Golf Cart with 12" Black 'Venom' Wheels and 23"x10.5"-12" All-Terrain tires

What It Is

This is a complete lift kit and wheel/tire package for EZGO TXT and PDS gas golf carts (2001.5–2008). It raises the rear axle 6 inches using a drop axle bracket, and includes 12" black Venom wheels wrapped in 23"x10.5"-12" all-terrain tires. Designed for off-road use, trail riding, or aggressive turf driving where extra ground clearance is needed.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Exact fitment: EZGO TXT and PDS gas models built mid-2001.5 through 2008 only. Not compatible with electric TXT, RXV, or any pre-2001.5 models.
• Axle type: Works with the stock Dana or EZGO rear axle. Does NOT fit Yamaha, Club Car, or other brands.
• Wheel specs: 12"x7" (likely 4+3 offset) with a 4x4 bolt pattern. Tires are 23" tall, 10.5" wide on a 12" rim. Stock tire height is around 18-20", so expect a significant speed and torque change.
• Before buying: Confirm your cart’s year (check serial number near passenger glove box). Measure existing tire clearance at full suspension droop. If you have a rear seat kit or cargo box, ensure the lift won’t interfere with the frame or bumper.

Key Things to Know

• Installation difficulty: Moderate. Requires jack stands, basic hand tools, and likely a helper for axle alignment. Expect 2–4 hours. Not a bolt-on for beginners without mechanical experience.
• Torque and speed loss: Taller tires reduce effective torque and increase top speed. Gas TXT with stock clutch may struggle on steep hills; consider a clutch kit or rev kit.
• Brake cable stretch: The 6" drop will require extending or rerouting rear brake cables. Some kits include cable brackets, but you may need to buy longer cables separately.
• Tire clearance: 23" tires may rub the rear fender or bumper if the cart is lowered or if the suspension is worn. Check for a 2" lift or trimmed fender flares if clearance is tight.

Should You Buy It

This kit is right for EZGO TXT/PDS gas owners who want a rugged off-road look and real ground clearance for trails, hunting, or farm use. It’s not ideal for flat lawn mowing or tight spaces—the taller tires and lift will reduce stability on pavement and may cause rubbing. If you’re okay with moderate mechanical work and potential torque loss, this is a solid, all-in-one upgrade.
