Default Suspension 06 cc DS. Bottoms out

I have a 48v cc ds. 2006. When parked in my garage on flat surface you can see a lean towards the drivers side. When I have taken turns sharply it has bottom out and rubbed in the well. We have some slight off road areas that take us to the pier and shopping center. Last night I notice it was pretty much bottomed out the whole time with a load. 3 adults.

I am leaning (no pun intended) towards it being the leaf spring.

Should I replace the shocks while I'm under there too or should the leafs suffice.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

get heavy duty springs (4 leaf)

shocks really don't do any good with heavy duty springs

Yea from.my brother in law who is a mechanic they do nothing but keep you from bouncing. I removed the rear Dr side wheel and looked across the two rear leafs and can see how it is deformed compared to the pass side. Where it has a bend and is supposed to go up to the rear mount, it.is flattened out.

I.ordered two new leafs with 3 springs.

shocks just dampen the recoil of springs
on golf cart there is 4" travel less with h/d springs
mud trucks springs are more flexible
golf carts and mud trucks are different in many ways

There is an alternative to the stock shocks. These are Monroe gas shocks.
