new rear springs
I've been looking at new rear springs for an 01 DS. I've found 1,2,3, and 4 leaf options. I need help. The cart has 20.5" tires on it. It has longer shackles. It does have a flip seat. It's fine with 2 people but rubs with people on the flip seat. I want it to be a little higher in the back but still ride well with 2 people. Any help would be appreciated.

Re: new rear springs
I've ordered a set of these for our 2003 DS.
It's fairly stock, but I plan on adding a rear seat. I like the 2nd leaf adding to the normal weight carrying capacity and the thicker bottom spring that will kick in with a lot of weight. With the longer shackles did you have to change the rear shocks or add extenders? You might need to do something with new springs. My shocks look original so I'm going to try the Monroe 31176 rear shocks I've seen others using. |

Re: new rear springs
I thought about the single leaf's but I'm afraid they will sag too much with people on the back. Think I'm going to try the 3 leaf set. I'm not going to worry about the shocks. They seem worn out, but I'm not going to replace them. If they won't reach, I'm just going to take them off.
