How to identify RXV HD leaf Springs from Standard

MiltonC

Guys,

I recently purchased a 2009 RXV that had a 6" lift kit installed. Jakes on the front and spacers on the back.

It is "bottoming out" when I have it fully loaded with passengers on the rear seat.

Is there a method to tell if the leaf springs are still stock on the cart? I have reviewed the HD Leaf Springs and they appear to continue to be a single spring only with thicker metal (I assume).

Does anyone have the measurements for the thickness of the HD Leafspring? I hate to purchase a set of HDs if they are already installed.

Also, do you recommend changing out the dampeners (shocks) also?

I'm looking for some advise.

BGW

I installed HD leaf springs on my 2008 RXV. Here are the measurements on the two sets.

Original Non-HD Leaf Springs:

Small End: 5.0 mm
Middle: 9.46 mm
Big End: 7.09 mm

Heavy Duty Leaf Springs:

Small End: 6.35 mm
Middle: 12.10 mm
Big End: 7.73 mm

Hope this helps in case someone is wondering which set of springs they have installed on a used cart purchase.
