Default Bent rear leaf spring after lift kit install

So who here has bent a leaf spring before? I mean is it a common thing?
I went with a Allsport long travel and it uses the stock rear spring and a block and you put the spring over the axle. for 6 inches of lift.

650 alltrax and custom d&d motor made a pretzel out of the rear leafs the first time I punched the gas!!

So now I need to decide if I want to just put a heavy duty rear leaf in or fab my own rear long travel??? Hmmm Prob just put a heavy duty in it for now and work on the long travel when I get the time that way the cart stays usable..
LOVE this south Texas weather where we can use carts year round!!

Wheels are 14x7 Dominators that I sanded down and coated them with Truck bed liner.. Should be pretty durable..Tires are 23x10x14

Not bent but can see the axle roll front to back from motor torque.

Wow! I've never seen that! That engine must have some serious torque. Really nice looking cart! I think the 3 link type rears look pretty trick and prob ride alot better too. But it'd be really easy for now to just get the two leafs. I can't imagine bending two?

Just ordered springs from everythingcarts. They took good care of my wheel and tire purchase so they get my return business..
I have a pair of coil overs I want to use when I build the rear but they are quite long and I dont know if I can get them to work or not. might have to buy a set..
