Default rxv bottoming out w/ 4 adults

my ez-go RXV is bottoming out over bumps with 4 adults. is there a solution for bottoming out with 4 adults , while still having a nice soft ride when it is only one person? i know about heavy duty springs, but these make it very stiff and bouncey when there is only one or two people in the cart.

Thanks ,
Chris

When I had my RXV I had the same issue. I installed a pair of HD springs (ezgo part # 604494) and they didn't make the ride bouncy or stiff with a single person. I have to believe it's because they are a single spring and not a multi-spring pack. I also install some Monroe shocks to replace the stock units. The cart had a lot more stability while cornering. If I were to ever get another RXV, it would be one of the first things I'd do.

great info, thanks! any chance you remember the air shock part#? were they a direct remove and replace, or did you have to fabricate anything?

do you think the air shocks alone might solve my problem?

looks like Monroe MA702 air shocks might be what i need for my EZGO RXV. not quite sure. they dont look like they have the eye ends on them. wonder how i can get those? can i remove the old ones from my stock shocks? what about what psi to run in them? wonder if i dont need the heavy duty springs at all with these air shocks?

i replaced the standard leaf springs when adding back seat with jakes lift and never had a problem. I have standard shocks all around.

They were NOT air shocks. My cart had a jakes 6" lift, so I took the measurements and went over to the auto parts store and sorted through the shock listing to find a set that had eyes on both ends, no larger than the need diameter and length and found these:

Amazon.com: Monroe 555002 Gas-Magnum RV Shock Absorber: Automotive Amazon.com: Monroe 555002 Gas-Magnum RV Shock Absorber: Automotive

I think I needed different size nuts and bolts but don't recall exactly.

So redking, i saw you've install a pair of hd spring on your rvx,, are they tough enough to keep the cart stiff with two or three person on the rear seat. ?

No problem at all. I used to have a couple heavy weights back there all the time.
