Default new rear end springs

Looking for a little more ground clearance i upgraded my wheels and tire on a 95 TXT. I have the clearance i wanted, but today when letting the wife drive (i was on the back first time since adding the backseat) i could hear the cart actually hitting the rear axl a time or two. i guess this means i need HD leaf springs in the back???
Any recomendations???? I love the way it drives right now, very smooth and dont want a rough ride.

Go with a 3 leaf rear, not the four leaf, it should give you what you are looking for.

???? Look it up not sure, buy new bushings why you have it apart, they are only a couple of $$. Check with site sponsors, or check with ezgo's website I think they have them.

My local dealer wants $40 to install these, how important is an impact driver to install these?

Yep, but it often ends up with over-torqued fasteners, which weakens them.

thanks, any suggestions for a good impact driver for carts? To bad there is no power tools that can plug into the carts battery system

they make a 12v impact. used to have a 1/2" drive one. then you would be set. $40 is not a bad deal for an install. just insist that the bolts not be tightened with an impact. the bolts should just be snug. if they are too tite you will lose flex.
