Short answer: the best E-Z-GO TXT lift kit depends on the cart’s model year, gas vs electric layout, and the tire size you plan to run. Many current TXT kits target 2001.5-up carts, so older TXT/Medalist models need extra fitment verification before ordering.
This guide focuses on TXT-specific fitment. For lift types, sizes, and general pros/cons, see our golf cart lift-kit guide.
Start with TXT model year
The 2001.5 model-year break appears repeatedly in current aftermarket lift-kit listings. Do not assume a kit labeled “TXT” fits every TXT from the 1990s through modern carts. Confirm year range, steering/suspension layout, and whether the kit is intended for gas, electric, or both.

6-inch drop-axle kit for 2001.5–2020 TXT
This is a straightforward high-lift option for owners planning larger tires. A 6-inch lift changes entry height and handling more than a mild 3- or 4-inch kit, so tire size and use case should justify the added height.
ECOTRIC 6-inch TXT lift kit
This is another 2001.5-up drop-axle-style option. Compare included brackets, hardware, and exact year coverage before choosing between similar kits.
RHOX BMF 7-inch A-arm kit
This is aimed at more aggressive builds and has narrower fitment details, including later gas carts with EX1 engines and electric TXT applications. It should be treated as a specialized kit, not a universal TXT lift.
4-inch vs 6-inch vs 7-inch lift
A mild lift is easier to live with and can be enough for moderate tire upgrades. A 6-inch lift is common for 22- or 23-inch tire packages, while 7-inch kits are more appropriate for owners who specifically want extra clearance and a more aggressive stance. Taller is not automatically better.
Choose the tire first
Start with the tire diameter and terrain you need, then choose the minimum lift height that provides reliable clearance. Large tires increase effective gearing, rotational mass, and steering load. Our golf cart tire-size guide helps compare stock and lifted sizes.
Drop axle vs A-arm
Drop-axle kits are common and relatively simple, while A-arm kits can change the front suspension geometry more substantially and may offer greater articulation or adjustability depending on design. Installation complexity and alignment requirements usually increase with more advanced kits.
Alignment after installation
A lift can change toe and steering geometry. After installation, center the steering, set alignment according to the kit instructions, inspect tire clearance at full lock, and verify that brake cables and wiring are not stretched or rubbing.
Handling and safety tradeoffs
Raising the cart raises its center of gravity. Drive more slowly in turns, especially with rear passengers or cargo. Wide wheel offset and large tires can also increase load on bearings and steering parts.
Installation checklist
- Support the cart on rated jack stands.
- Photograph original suspension and steering orientation.
- Verify every bracket before tightening.
- Use the hardware sequence in the kit instructions.
- Check brake cables, wiring, shocks, and steering movement.
- Re-torque fasteners after the first few drives.
Older TXT carts
If your cart predates the listed 2001.5 fitment, do not improvise with a later kit. Look for a product that explicitly names your generation or verify compatibility with the manufacturer. Small geometry differences can make a kit unsafe even when bolt holes look close.
Check wheel offset with a lifted TXT
Large tires are only part of the fitment equation. Wheel offset can move the tire inward toward suspension parts or outward toward the body and fenders. After lifting, turn the steering fully left and right and compress the suspension if practical to confirm clearance. A lift that clears tire height can still rub if the wheel offset is aggressive.
Bottom line
For E-Z-GO TXT lift kits, model-year fitment comes first and tire size comes second. Use the minimum lift height that supports your planned tires and terrain, then align and inspect the cart carefully after installation. For other TXT upgrades, see our EZGO TXT accessories guide.
