About Jake's Lift Kits
Steve Stimely started Jake's Lift Kits in 1997 in Lewistown, Pennsylvania, with one idea: a golf cart lift kit that bolts on without cutting or welding. He cast the first spindles from ductile iron because it absorbs impacts that crack gray iron, and he engineered each kit to fit one specific cart model instead of forcing a universal design onto different frames.
The approach caught on. Golf cart dealers and backyard builders across the country started ordering Jake's kits for Club Car DS and Precedent, EZGO TXT and RXV, and Yamaha G22, G29, and Drive2 models. In 2009, Jake's partnered with Nivel Parts, a national golf cart parts distributor, to expand inventory and shipping reach.
Today, every kit still ships from Pennsylvania. American machinists cast, machine, and hand-assemble each spindle and A-arm before it leaves the facility. The product line now covers spindle lifts in 3-inch and 6-inch heights, double A-arm suspension kits, and wheelbase extension kits. Over thirty years of production stand behind each box.
Our Mission & Values
American Craftsmanship
Every spindle and A-arm kit ships from Lewistown, Pennsylvania, where machinists have cast and assembled lift kits since 1997. Ductile iron is poured, machined, and inspected on the same floor. The product carries the name of the facility that built it.
Engineered Fit
Jake's designs each kit for one cart make, one model, and one year range. Bolt patterns, spindle lengths, and bracket angles match the factory frame. The kit installs because it was drawn for that specific vehicle, not adapted from a generic template.
DIY-Friendly Design
Bolt-on installation means you do the work in your garage with a floor jack and hand tools. Every box includes printed instructions, all brackets, and all hardware. No welder, no fabricator, no $100-per-hour shop rate.
Built for Seasons
Ductile iron resists the fractures that end a gray iron spindle's service life after one rough season. Powder-coat finishes on A-arm kits survive rain, mud, and road salt. The parts are built to stay on the cart, not to become annual replacements.
