rear leaf springs, bushings, and shocks

The bolts in the shackles didn't have heads on the inside and were spinning. I cut them off, and replaced with 3/8-16 grade 8.

I used the Modz heavy duty rear springs

The Gold Cart King rear shocks are not long enough for the HD springs. (they don't tell you this)

I ended up ratchet strapping the axle up to get them in. Also they don't come with a bushing kit. The bushing kit I purchased with the shocks did not have the proper nut for the top post of the shock. (GK left out that tie bit too)

GK tech said to not install shock on a cart with HD rear springs. (They don't tell you that either)

All in all I will most likely avoid GK due to these issues.
