Re: bb rearend twisting
Get a smaller motor!
 If you have the correct u-bolts, and they are installed correctly, they shouldn't be doing that with the hp you have. Any pics of the setup? |

Re: bb rearend twisting
Did you cut the pins off the axle tube when you installed it below the springs?

Re: bb rearend twisting
I took a look at the Jake's lift for your cart. If I was putting that on my cart, I wouldn't rely on the rear riser/u-bolts to keep the axle from turning. I would weld the riser to the axle tube. It would probably be ok for a stock motor, but with the vanny, it's too much torque. I would weld it even with a stock motor. It's basically a spring perch, just like on a 4x4(jeep). They are always welded to the tube.

Re: bb rearend twisting
Good call out here...I'm gonna have to peek at mine. A few tack welds wouldn't hurt...this thing will never be close to stock again anyway.
