You better be looking for a dune buggy style cart with a good, long travel suspension on it. If you jump a regular cart off anything higher then 3" you are in for a whole world of hurt. Don't know if you have jumped a cart before, if not, it looks a lot cooler then it feels. The jarring you get when you land is enough to knock the fillings out of your teeth. If you have never jumped one, start small and work your way up. It takes skill that can only be learned by practice on how to properly land one with out busting yourself and the cart all up.
BTW: The style cart you need is not cheap, much better off getting a quad runner.

If your jumping 10 cars on a cart that has not suspension then you definitely have more brawn then brains. It really sounds like you are trying to blow smoke up everyone's a$$ as I can assure you that a standard cart with no suspension would make that jump once and would be trash. A standard cart is built for maximum speed on a relatively smooth surface. The frames are not built for that abuse. Even the suspension carts are not built for that kind of jumping and short of a Baja built cart which the suspension alone would run over $1,000 you are looking for trouble. Look forward to seeing your name as a 2009 Darwin Award winner.
