Lifting a golf cart off the ground is when it is raised so that there is better clearance when you're driving the vehicle.  Usually, people who prefer a higher ride or off-roading lift their golf carts. You need a special lift kit and tires for the golf cart to lift a golf cart. On the other hand, jacking up the golf cart is essentially raising it a little bit off the ground so that you can replace the tires of the golf cart or work on it.  Often, the terms jacking up and lifting the golf cart are confused by people who use them interchangeably; however, these are quite different.
