How bad will it be with out HD rear springs

dopeyferree · 01-23-2010, 05:05 PM

I just ordered a lift kit, wheels and tires and rear seat for my precedent. I did not get the HD springs yet, and it may be a little while, Wife is kind of ticked I just dumped $1000 into the cart. How bad is it gonna ride with out the HD springs. The passengers for the rear seat will be a 5 and 8 year old. Probley less that 100lbs combined. Will this be okay until I get the springs?

You should be fine without, it'll probably ride better than with HD springs.

I am new to carts as this is the first I have ever owned, rented several though. Just wanted to make sure I didnt cause any damage to it.

take a look at your mother in laws rear. then look at the cart in 3 months. that cart is going to be fine!

Other than possible stability, you shouldn't create any damage. The only problem you could have if the cart gets too much weight on it is to rub the tires on the back fenders. The cure for that would be take the weight off or get HD springs.

I agreewith dougmcp you will be ok as long as you have ample tire clearance,those kids probably dont weigh as much as 2 golf bags.

Thanks, I will probley get the HD springs eventually, just wanted to make sure I wasnt going to damage anything until then .

You'll be just fine without the HD springs. I run my Precedent without them and it rides great. I can tell you that I don't even notice my 5 and 8 year old back there and they weight about 85 lbs. I regularly have two adults back there without a problem. Enjoy!

I haven't changed out mine yet. It does great. I don't have a fat mother-n-law that "rides on mine" so I'm okay. Mine sits perfect. Mine doesn't even squat when I get on the back.

Youre kids will have no affect on the cart!!!! If you're putting 2 250lbs guys on the back then I would go with the Hd springs!!!
